Anti-Fascism Commission

About the Anti-Fascism Commission

The Anti-Fascism Commission is dedicated to fighting fascism and all forms of discrimination by raising awareness of different manifestations of fascism and supporting efforts to resist them. By organizing lectures, workshops, and discussions, we strive to identify, analyze and critique social challenges within university life and beyond. We invite you to share your ideas and actively participate in our projects.

“Our parents failed because they did not come together to fight fascism in time. There is only one excuse for that: they did not know what fascism in power means. This excuse does not apply to us.” - Peter Gingold, Jewish communist and Résistance fighter
