On Auschwitz anniversary, leader warns Jews again targets

A Jewish leader stood Tuesday before 300 survivors of the Nazis’ most notorious death camp and asked world leaders to prevent another Auschwitz, warning of a rise of anti-Semitism that has made many Jews fearful of walking the streets, and is causing many to flee Europe.

 

Ronald Lauder, the president of the World Jewish Congress, made his bleak assessment on the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, speaking next to the gate and the railroad tracks that marked the last journey for more than a million people murdered at Auschwitz-Birkenau.

 

He said his speech was shaped by the recent terrorist attacks in France that targeted Jews and newspaper satirists.

 

“For a time, we thought that the hatred of Jews had finally been eradicated.

Once again, Jewish businesses are targeted. And once again, Jewish families are fleeing Europe.”
