Laimgrubengasse 10, 1060 Wien, Österreich - On March 5, 2025, the opening event of the anti -Semitism musical campaign "Fragemauer" took place in Vienna. SPÖ councilor Peter Florianschütz, who is also a spokesman for human rights and heads the working group to combat anti-Semitism in the Vienna City Council, emphasized the importance of education in the fight against anti-Semitic prejudices. The campaign, the support from the Federal Chancellery and the European Leadership Network (ELENET), is aimed at promoting dialogue about Jewish life and Israel and reducing prejudices. Florianschütz was optimistic about the combination of combating anti-Semitic attacks and emphasized the importance of the agenda, which is now being launched in the Vienna municipal council, as well as wien.gv.at reported.

fight against anti -Semitism in Vienna

The working group to combat anti -Semitism in Vienna, which was officially launched in April 2018, recently held its first session. In this session, the takeover of the work definition of anti -Semitism of the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance (IRA) was unanimously recommended. This definition is an important basis for combating anti -Semitism, not only in Vienna, but across the world in many institutions worldwide. Florianschütz and other members of the working group worked closely together to formulate a resolution application that five parties brought together. The session and the speed at which the working group acts were highlighted by various political representatives.

Some members of the working group emphasized that the topic of anti -Semitism, especially in today's world, is of significant relevance and must not be pushed into the political background. Initiatives such as the "Fragmauer" campaign and the formal acceptance of the IRA definition show that there is a broad consensus in the Vienna municipal council to actively counter this problem. Florianschütz described the collaboration as a prime example of a fruitful discussion in which politics works across party borders to combat a serious social problem.
