After Virginia rally, Yad Vashem urges anti-racism education

Israel’s official Holocaust memorial says it is “very concerned by the images, hateful rhetoric, and subsequent violence” seen at the white supremacist rally in in Charlottesville, Virginia, over the weekend.

“In our post-Holocaust global society, there is no room for racism or antisemitism,” the museum says in a statement. “The anti-Jewish ideology of the Nazis was a precursor to the eventual murderous policy and extermination of six million Jews.”

Yad Vashem says the deadly rally is “yet another reminder that we must remain vigilant about educating the public regarding hatred and xenophobia.”
