In Poland, the government has passed laws making it illegal to acknowledge Polish complicity in the Holocaust. They have frozen the law that returns property looted by Nazis to Holocaust survivors.
In France, the neo-fascist National Front is on the rise and just days ago 85-year-old Holocaust survivor, Mirielle Knoll, was brutally stabbed to death in an antisemitic attack. In the US too, we see the far right extremists gathering support for their hateful ideology.
It is easy to denounce antisemitism when you see it in other countries, in other political movements. It is sometimes harder to see it when it is closer to home.
