We are a small association working in order to monitor Antisemitism in Ukraine an especially in West Ukraine .
Our work is very important since we think that the current state of economical crisis in West Ukraine make it a breeding ground for Anti-Semitic ideologies and potentially the future center of an outbreak that could extend to the whole of Ukraine .
Indeed , in 2006 , we have seen a major rise of Antisemitism with the Timochenko-Iouchenko regime . Several fascists and Neo-Nazi organisations (UNA-UNSO , Svoboda) and their leaders ( Oleg Tiahnybok , Andrei Chkil , … ) were publicly supported by a part of the population and by the government . Many public outrageous call for the outcast of Ukrainians Jews had also been made by these organizations . Antisemitic newspaper were also heavily supported by the leaders of the ‘Orange’ Revolution . This lasted until the recent election of Victok Ianoukovitch as president of Ukraine.
At this moment in time , a large amount of the populations of west Ukraine are still ( and maybe more then ever ) favourable to Nationalistic , Racist and Anti-Semitic ideologies . The development of the subsequent organizations , especially in the city of Lvov , must be closely monitored and our organisation will act as whistle-blowers each time it seems to us we have to inform the Global Jewish community of the relevant facts .
Of course , this task is not without costs : redaction of the articles , buying computers , paying for Internet , relations with the newspapers and the journalists , travels to other Ukrainian cities .
That is why we ask for your financial support .
All donators will periodically receive informations about the total amount of donations and how money is being used .
Sincerely yours ,
