Dear New York friends,

Please join me for a discussion around my two books on the Holocaust in Thessaloniki at the historic Kehila Kedosha Janina Synagogue and Museum, 280 Broome Street, on Thursday, June 6, at 6:30 pm.

Looking forward to seeing you all there!

“Echoes of Remembrance: The Holocaust in Thessaloniki,” Leon Saltiel, Director of Diplomacy, UNESCO, Coordinator on Countering Antisemitism for the WJC and member of the Greek delegation to the IHRA presented the history of the Greek Jewish community of Thessaloniki at Illinois Holocaust Museum.

At today's event hosted by Embassy of Hungary in Switzerland 🇭🇺 & Gamaraal Foundation commemorating the #deportation of over 400'000 Hungarian Jews to #Auschwitz 80 yrs ago, AMB Geissbühler underlined that remembrance & knowing the facts abt the #Shoah is key, an act of #justice & the basis to act now.

My best wishes to the State & people of Israel celebrating the 76th anniv. of 🇮🇱's independence & the journey of a nation built on hope & resilience. May all hostages be reunited with their families soon. Thank you, Pres. יצחק הרצוג Isaac Herzog & Min. Israel Foreign Ministry ישראל כ”ץ Israel Katz.

Very productive meetings at Capitol Hill and the State Department for the World Jewish Congress, to promote the fight against antisemitism and all forms of hatred, and promote human rights for all.

On May 16, join Leon Saltiel as he explores through historical accounts, personal narratives, and archival footage, the challenges faced by the Greek Jewish population during the Holocaust, and their enduring strength in the face of adversity still today. buff.ly/3VXsrSL

In Geneva, hundreds marched peacefully yesterday to decry the rise of antisemitism and hatred around the world.

At the European Conference on Antisemitism, organized by the Federal Chancellery of the Republic of Austria, in the impressive building of the Austrian Academy of Sciences.

Through our Presidency of @theIHRA this year, the UK will shine a spotlight on the evils of the Holocaust and strengthen work to combat Holocaust distortion.

As we continue to come to terms with the horrors of October 7, we renew our sacred vow: never again.

It was an honor today to meet with leaders of the historic Jewish Community of Rhodes at the 16th century synagogue.
I saw 1,615 names of those sent on what would be the last deportation to Auschwitz 80 years ago this summer. Just over 100 survived. Only 2 returned.

Thank you, Andrew Weinstein and Leon Saltiel, for a productive and sobering conversation on the alarming global rise of antisemitism and the important role multilateralism can play in addressing it.

The World Jewish Congress is grateful for the leadership of the United States in countering antisemitism at home and abroad, and we are always honoured to exchange views with human rights leaders such as Ambassador Michèle Taylor and Andrew Weinstein

On the occasion of the 30th Anniversary of the 1994 Genocide Against the Tutsi in Rwanda, the World Jewish Congress stands united with the people of Rwanda, condemns hatred and bigotry, and strives to ensure that ‘Never Again’ does not remain an empty promise.
