EU antisemitism watchdog joins chorus backing Yad Vashem head

Katharina von Schnurbein, the European Union’s coordinator on combating antisemitism, has joined an outcry over alleged efforts by the government to remove Dani Dayan as head of the Yad Vashem Holocaust Memorial.

“The World Holocaust Center @yadvashem is a key partner for the European Union when it comes to #Holocaust research,” she says on X. “Its expertise and #independence of its leadership are essential in times of #Holocaust #distortion and attempts to politicise #Shoah remembrance.”
