NOA National Report Card on Estonia

12/12/2025

This report showcases the current policy landscape in 11 areas: culture, education, hate crime, hate speech, Holocaust remembrance, intercultural dialogue, media, religious freedom, security, sport, and youth. While Estonia faces relatively low levels of antisemitism compared to many other EU Member States, the recent rise in antisemitic hate speech shows that continued action is needed.

Sustained progress will require coordinated and well-resourced implementation. Recent steps—such as creating an inter-ministerial working group and appointing a National Coordinator—are encouraging, but they must be supported with clear responsibilities and regular engagement with the Jewish community. Combating antisemitism should be treated as a priority in its own right, with stronger data collection, investment in training and evaluation, and education that goes beyond Holocaust remembrance to address contemporary antisemitism, online hate, and Jewish history and culture. Expanded public awareness initiatives will further help strengthen social resilience.

By recognising the specific nature of antisemitism and addressing remaining gaps in national policy, Estonia can take meaningful steps to prevent and combat antisemitism and foster Jewish life—helping to pave the way towards a more inclusive and democratic Europe.
