Incredibly powerful front page of The Australian today.
On the 85th anniversary of Kristallnacht, the night of anti-Jewish pogroms deemed the turning point in Nazi plans to annihilate European Jewry, more than 100 of the nation’s Holocaust survivors have penned a statement that urges humanity to speak out against antisemitism and reject hatred, bigotry and violence.
“Never have we, the survivors of the Holocaust felt the need to make a collective statement such as this until now. Never did we think that we would witness a re-enactment of the senseless and virulent hatred of Jews that we faced in Europe. The actions of Hamas are so familiar, so barbaric, yet instead of condemning this, the response across the globe is a shameful spike in antisemitism.”
