November 9 marks the International Day Against Fascism and Anti-Semitism.
The day honors the victims of the 1938 tragedy in Nazi Germany known as Kristallnacht, or the Night of Broken Glass, which preceded the Holocaust.
It also emphasizes the need to fight racism, xenophobia and intolerance and preserve historical memory.
In Russia, commemorative classes, exhibitions and meetings with veterans are organized to emphasize the importance of the victory over fascism and respect for different cultures.
