Conservative Home: Ian Acheson: “Community cohesion” is only enhanced by uncovering truth, and demanding accountability
CEP Senior Advisor Ian Acheson writes: "We are rapidly becoming a low trust society and this has serious implications for ‘community cohesion.’
The term, coined by academics after the 2011 riots has lately become a soubriquet for institutional cowardice in the face of a national child safeguarding catastrophe. But when it was originally conceived, it was a way of describing the ties that bind communities together and a means of breaking down stereotypes and misconceptions that can fuel sectarian alienation and even translate into ideological violence."
The Counter Extremism Project Presents
Enduring Music: Compositions from the Holocaust
Marking International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Counter Extremism Project's ARCHER at House 88 presents a landmark concert of music composed in ghettos and death camps, performed in defiance of resurgent antisemitism. Curated with world renowned composer, conductor, and musicologist Francesco Lotoro, the program restores classical, folk, and popular works, many written on scraps of paper or recalled from memory, to public consciousness. Featuring world and U.S. premieres from Lotoro's archive, this concert honors a repertoire that endured against unimaginable evil.
