Antisemitism in Serbia – then and now

2021-07-22/in Articles /by Miško Stanišić

Antisemitism can be described as hatred, animosity, or bias against the Jews, just because and only because they are Jews. Antisemitism is a very old phenomenon that was manifested in various ways throughout the centuries. Its most horrible form was the Holocaust. Antisemitism still exists today, in almost all parts of the world, as well as in Serbia.

Why Terraforming?

Terraforming (”Earth‐shaping”) is a term from astronomy, defining the theoretical process of deliberately modifying the atmosphere, temperature or topography of a new planet, to make it habitable by humans.

But before we start changing other planets, we believe that it is our World that needs to be “terraformed” first, making it a better place, with more empathy and love, with genuine respect for human rights, equality and freedom.

We are trying to give our small contribution to that kind of "terraforming" of our World.
