Israeli embassy staff murdered outside a Jewish community gathering in Washington. Jewish sites vandalized in Paris. And now innocents attacked in Boulder. In recent days we have seen murderous, hateful, and violent acts of antisemitism and terror. Inaction is not an option.

The vandalism of Canada's National Holocaust Monument is a reprehensible act of antisemitic hatred. Such cowardly actions have no place in society. We stand in solidarity with Canadians in condemning this vile act.

Before WWII, Thessaloniki had around 50 synagogues. The 1927 Monastir synagogue is the only one that survived the Holocaust. More than 90% of the city's 50,000 Jews were murdered by the Nazi regime. US Consulate Thess

Once a place for prayer and worship, the Great Synagogue in Białystok, Poland, became the site of horrific violence #OTD in 1941. The German Order Police Battalion 309 locked hundreds of Jews inside before setting the building on fire. 📷: Ghetto Fighters' House
