Romania's commitment to the Forum dedicated to Holocaust Remembrance

Romania will set up an annual award for personalities who contribute to Holocaust education, research and commemoration, as well as to preventing and combating Anti-Semitism.

It is one of the commitments made by Romania, which President Klaus Iohannis presented on Wednesday at the Forum dedicated to the Commemoration of the Holocaust and the Fight against Anti-Semitism, which took place in Sweden.

The head of state recalled that Romania adopted in May its first national strategy to prevent and combat anti-Semitism, xenophobia, radicalization and hate speech, as well as the associated action plan, which aims at three main directions: protecting vulnerable groups, increasing society's resilience and strengthening international cooperation.
