ZAGREB, April 8 (Hina) - In a letter to Croatian Parliament President
Vladimir Seks, his Israeli counterpart Reuven Riblin expressed deep
gratitude for leading the struggle against racism, bigotry and
intolerance, said a statement issued by Seks' office on Thursday.#L#
The head of the Knesset sent a letter to Seks informing him of
activities regarding the marking of the world's project of remembering
the Holocaust called "Every Person Has a Name". The project was
launched 15 years ago and it is aimed at giving a name to the
anonymous victims of the Holocaust. It is marked each year on April
19, Holocaust Remembrance Day, under the auspices of the president of
the Knesset, the statement said.
Stressing the important role of many governments and parliaments in
Europe and the world in preventing the revival of anti-Semitism,
Riblin expressed conviction that "a society in which Jews were abused
and persecuted will never be a society in which any individual could
live free of fear and hatred, which is why anti-Semitism does not
represent a threat only to Jews, but to the entire civilisation," the
statement said.
At the end of his letter, Riblin thanked the Croatian parliament on
its respectable role in combating anti-Semitism and extremism, the
statement said.
