The International Day Against Fascism and Antisemitism is observed on November 9th each year. This date holds particular significance in Black history as it marks the anniversary of Kristallnacht, also known as the Night of Broken Glass, a violent pogrom against Jews throughout Nazi Germany and Austria in 1938.

In the context of Black history, the observance of this day serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of struggles against racism, fascism, and antisemitism. Black communities have historically stood in solidarity with Jewish communities in the fight against discrimination and hatred.

During the civil rights movements in the United States and around the world, Black activists and leaders often emphasized the importance of unity among marginalized groups in combating all forms of bigotry and oppression. The International Day Against Fascism and Antisemitism serves as a call to action to remember the past, educate future generations, and work together to create a more just and inclusive world for all.
