Katharina von Schnurbein contributed to the plenary discussion on the IHRA definition, emphasising it’s practical applicability. She started her contribution to the working group on Jewish life by stating:

"When it comes to Jewish life, indeed there are threats, but we also see a lot of positive developments. (…) It is important to highlight the challenges, and to address them. This is what the upcoming strategy will do. But we also want to highlight and foster the vibrant and divers Jewish life in Europe.”

The event was organised by the Ministry of Forign Affairs of the State of Israel.
