The TRACE platform aims to identify and confront contemporary threats of antisemitism and antigypsyism in the Visegrád 4 countries (V4). It focuses on profiling key actors, groups, and networks responsible for these issues while highlighting their scale and depth through verified incidents and thorough analysis. By dispelling myths and countering disinformation with fact-based narratives, the project provides actionable recommendations for policymakers, civil society organisations (CSOs), and community-centred groups.
TRACE
Objective
The aim of the platform is to convey a sense that history is not detached from the present – to counter current threats is to prevent future atrocities, hate and violence being inflicted on these groups.
The platform serves as a bridge between past and present, documenting historical and modern incidents and events from 1939 to today, emphasising the interconnectedness of these issues over time. It promotes a whole-of-society approach, combining policy, practice, and community engagement to effectively counter hate and prevent future atrocities.
TRACE stands out by addressing overlapping antisemitism and antigypsyism issues across the V4, offering a unique, integrated approach to combating hate. It fosters continuous engagement by updating users on evolving threats, ensuring its relevance as a critical resource for tackling these challenges.
