Today, we mark Yom Hashoah in remembrance of the six million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust. Together we will fight the poison of antisemitism and hatred wherever it is found, to ensure that never again means what it says: never again. thejc.com/opinion/starme…

Deeply moved to hear Tomi Reichental at our Yom HaShoah ceremony in assoc with the Jewish Rep Council. Honoured to have Nuria Zyden, Uyghur Community Leader in Irl, light a candle for the 5m non Jews murdered in the Holocaust. We remember & mourn all victims of the Holocaust.

We are appalled by the neo-Nazi gathering in Dongo, Italy, where extremists marched and performed fascist salutes to honour Benito Mussolini on the 80th anniversary of his death. Glorifying the legacy of fascism is not a mere provocation, it is a direct attack on the fundamental

Commemoration is a vital part of building a better world - it is an active process that we commit to practicing in the face of ongoing atrocities today. Our Director NuriaZyden pictured below with Tomi Reichental and Oliver Sears at a Holocaust remembrance event.

Today marks 80 years since the liberation of Ravensbrück concentration camp, the largest concentration camp for women. Approximately 40,000 women died in the camp before it was liberated on the 30th April 1945, by Soviet troops.

"Elie Wiesel said that the opposite of love is not hate, its indifference... just say that you stand with your Jewish friends, colleagues & neighbours against hatred & bigotry, against the normalisation of hate speech." Thank you David Schwimmer ADL bit.ly/438GsiE

80 yrs ago war ended in Europe.The East soon fell under Soviet tyranny. My mother & grandmother, back home in Łódź, Poland in 1946. 2 Jews who survived when 6M did not. Democracy has provided decades of peace in Euope; We risk forgetting how our grandparents fought for freedom.

Francesca Albanese just deleted her tweet of 5 days ago saying there is a “Jewish brigade and its cronies” who are genocide deniers. This underscores how she is incapable of restraining her urge to spread inflammatory libels, the very opposite of how a UN rapporteur must act. x.com/franceskalbs/s…

We're appalled by the antisemitic assault on 8 Israeli Jews in Budapest, targeted for their religious appearance and attacked with Nazi slogans by German tourists. Such violence has no place in Europe. We stand with the victims and call for swift justice. eurojewcong.org/news/communiti…

I was on this show last year. The conversation: the demonization of Israel, lazy sloganeering & Owen Jones being gratuitously rude. I raised the fact of Iran's backing of Hamas, Hizbollah, Houthis, but there is no appetite in Irish media to properly examine the complexities.

The German word vernichten means to exterminate & is used of vermin. The portrayal of Jews as rats is infamous Nazi propaganda. Dirty rat = dirty Jew is the message. Please educate yourself before speaking out publicly.  Supporting Gazans must not mean demonizing Jews.

Our deepest sympathy to family and friends of Yaron Lischinsky & Sarah Milgrim. Murdered in cold blood because they were Jewish. May their memory be a blessing.
