Vienna City Hall
"An End to Antisemitism!" is not only the title of the first international conference organized by the University of Vienna, New York and Tel Aviv in cooperation with the European Jewish Congress, but also the topic French philosopher Bernard-Henri Lévy addressed in his public lecture at the opening evening of the conference. He focused on contemporary antisemitism and its problems: antisemitism is no longer a phenomenon of the far right but has risen to a common threat in politic and public society. A joint fight against the imminent danger of today's antisemitism is inevitable.
