Israel’s UN ambassador leads envoys to Auschwitz ‘in time of rising anti-Semitism’
Israel ambassador to the UN, Danny Danon, accompanied a group of fellow diplomats to the world body in participating in the March of the Living on Israel’s Holocaust Remembrance Day, visiting the death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
“We came here today to send a clear message to the world against anti-Semitism and in support of teaching the memory of the Holocaust to future generations,” Danon said in a statement from the march.
“In a time of rising anti-Semitism and in the face of the dark regimes of our day, the international community must act aggressively and with determination to ensure that such things never happen again,” he said, according to a Hebrew-language statement released to the press.
