BRUSSELS (AP) — Holocaust survivors and politicians warned about the resurgence of antisemitism and Holocaust denial as the world remembered Nazi atrocities and commemorated the 77th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp on Thursday.

“I have lived in New York for 75 years, but I still remember well the terrible time of horror and hatred,” survivor Inge Auerbacher, 87, told the German parliament. “Unfortunately, this cancer has reawakened and hatred of Jews is commonplace again in many countries in the world, including Germany.”

Commemorations took place amid a rise of antisemitism that gained traction during lockdowns as the coronavirus pandemic exacerbated hatred online.

Kind of funny that at work today I was told famous quote from ophrah Winfrey :
“We can’t become what we need to be remaining what we are”

Upon reading the quote, the first group that comes to my mind is Jews

So is anti-white bigotry. I’m a lot of people are more full of hate now than a few years ago because of endless propaganda.

Maybe I have my head in the sand but I haven’t seen one negative comment connecting the Jewish people with the pandemic. I’ve seen no one blame Jews for it at all.

I have seen a campaign which was aimed at Trump, saying that Asians were being victimized because of the virus. Then when it turned out the population actually committing anti-Asian crimes didn’t fit the desired narrative it was dropped.

I’d like to give the AP a hint on what population in the USA is the most anti-Semitic, it’s the same population committing most of the anti-Asian crimes..

I’m honestly surprised the AP didn’t claim that Trump and “white supremist” are to blame for recent antisemitism. Of course, they didn’t blame the real culprits either.
