"It confronted European officials with a new reality," comments Hans-Jakob Schindler, founder and current director of the Counter Extremism Project (CEP)—based in New York and Berlin—and former head of the UN Security Council's Sanctions Monitoring Team against the Islamic State (Daesh), Al Qaeda, and the Taliban. "They no longer only had to monitor terrorists leaving Europe to join the caliphate. Above all, they had to ensure that they did not return from Iraq or Syria and closely monitor their networks here, determined to attack on European soil."

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.
