Strengthening feeling of the European citizenship and values, fighting intolerance

About the organisation:
ESLI was created in 2010 to monitor and advocate Terezin Declaration which was endorsed by 47 countries, including the whole EU. We promote rights of Holocaust survivors and other victims of Nazi persecution on the European level in five main areas:
- Social Welfare of Victims of Nazism
- Restitution of immovable property
- Looted art and Judaica
