A Warning Against Fatal Mistakes of the Past

After the end of World War II, the world made a decision that the horrors of Nazism would never happen again.

Today, however, we see the same hateful rhetoric reemerging in society as it did ninety years ago.

Experts point to two factors that herald the threat of impending genocide: hate speech and incitement to hatred against certain groups of people.

In today's discussion, we will analyze how the same mechanisms are taking root in contemporary society. These are the mechanisms that incite hatred in society and thus justify repression against certain groups of people around the world - from the historical examples of the Holocaust to the genocides in Bosnia, Rwanda and current events.

We also highlight the specific manifestations of hateful rhetoric that currently affects society and the danger it poses to democracy and human rights.

It is time not only to be aware of this but also to stand up unequivocally against these manifestations, as silence equates to complicity with evil. As Martin Luther King Jr said: “He who passively accepts evil is as much involved in it as he who helps to perpetrate it”.
