Abstract(s)
A União Europeia, ao adotar o Holocausto como o seu “mito fundador”, pretendeu consolidar uma identidade supranacional baseada nos valores de paz, direitos humanos e democracia, esperando que estes ideais fossem amplamente aceites por todos os seus Estados-Membros. No entanto, a Europa contemporânea é marcada pelo aumento do extremismo de direita, do antissemitismo e dos crimes de ódio. A discrepância entre os princípios simbólicos da memória do Holocausto e as realidades políticas e sociais atuais suscita dúvidas sobre a eficácia desta narrativa como meio para promover a união e a paz no espaço europeu.

However, contemporary Europe is marked by the rise of right-wing extremism, antisemitism, and hate crimes. The discrepancy between the symbolic principles of Holocaust memory and current political and social realities raises doubts about the effectiveness of this narrative as a means to promote unity and peace within the European space.
