that she had to submit is and was used to legitimize on the side then that called. the systematic murder of millions of innocent people even today the holocaust seems almost impossible to get us but we must do just that because while the nazi plane was aimed a good the jewels and the semitic atrocities never end with the jewels. the holocaust was a calamity for the jewish people and a catastrophe for all people in this shop proved that modernity does not ensure more leaky values do look this early progress along with acknowledging 75 years after the

break. hurrell cause remember ins is most relevant than ever it serves as a lighthouse warning us of the danger of extreme. g.'s yad vashem the world holocaust remember the center is the gatekeeper of course memory it is healing towards a limb their devices and legacy of the show of victims and survivors are good there. and made accessible for all humanity member we must be translated into action and disabilities in and all other forms of racism will never will be diminished soon silence that killing anti semitism today the quails

a range of policies and tools locally nationally and internationally the international forms such as oh here's today 40 far in night that formed against any expressions of racism anywhere in the world oh mutual duty is to educate the upcoming generations it is our duty to ensure that everyone understands what constitutes anti semitism and remembers well it had left us in the past as an educator i realized 8 early on that the atmosphere must create the international school for holocaust studies professionals from the round the world learn to curate facts about the shaw and how to

communicate the meanings to their communities appeals and students. of complete hence of the silt no most exhibitions robust online presence of additional means to disseminate our knowledge to the global audience we are all here today because we share a deep concern about what is happening around the world yo presence give us hope hope of overcoming holocaust denial and distortion hope of securing individual rights and human dignity for all society's hope that the world it went to us to our children will be kinder and more tolerant then the one when her paid for mole on felons

of the. thank you mr. 75 years after the fall of nazi germany anti-semitism is on the rise reaching levels not seen since the holocaust. today are societies facing not just latent anti-semitism but a worldwide crisis of anti-semitic 8. once again jewish shops are being

smashed and jewish graves desecrated. once again jews are being attacked on the street once again this hate is moving in more places from the margins to mainstream from words to extreme violence germany is in shock after an anti semitic attack on a synagogue on the face of the police i'm forced to see this through pakistan says 11 people died after a gunman opened fire during morning service once again jews are being murdered simply for being jews. in 2018 alone there were 387 violence anti-semitic incidents over 100 violent attacks in the us 68 in the u.k. 35 in germany a 74 percent increase in all types of anti-semitic attacks in france

a 60 percent increase in italy australia 59 percent south africa 25 percent in the face of this crisis no country is immune. this age old prejudice is being led by a new triangle of hate a convergence of the far right far left and radical islam is a. cause. today extremists can spread their propaganda it's millions at the touch of a button up close. down. and if they come to power they may have access to the deadliest weapons known to humanity contemporary anti-semitism finds expression in many forms anti jewish conspiracy theories holocaust denial and the glorification of the nazis and their collaborators coming out of my own folly. was at times

anti-semitism is disguised as anti sign ism a traitor jews can manifest itself in hatred of the jewish state anti-semitic motifs are used to blame israel for all the world's ills. and while jews are the 1st victims the ultimate target of this triangle of hate is the very societies in which they live to speak. to speak to keep prices clipper's clock incitement and hate are a means for extremists to attack the foundations of democracies destabilize governments and increase their power. then the seventy's was not a problem for the jewish community alone it is a menace to democratic values to social peace and stability not only are their vile views coming into the mainstream but the mainstream is unfortunately sometimes coming to them the recent wave of anti-semitism has already taken too many innocent

lives as the nazis rose to power the world did not wake up in time the world ignored the spread of anti jewish propaganda and 8. when the gates of the camps and swung open the world came face to face with the consequences of hatred. never again is now now is the time to fight back. this is a fight not only for the safety of the jewish community but for the survival of our nation. the worldwide crisis of an anti semitism threatens us saw and we must all fight it together. that distinguished heads of delegations present here today as well as leaders of

additional countries invited to this forum but i'm able to attend has made a memorable contribution to holocaust remembrance and to the fight against anti-semitism each of them has the minute a personal message attesting to their own commitment and that of their nation to remembering the holocaust and fighting and the semitism these messages have been compiled in a special commemorative volume which we are pleased to now great and distribute to all the participants here today the book reflects our shared commitment to effectively chance to meet the legacy of the show to future generations. we will now conduct a memorial ceremony in memory of those who perished i am honored to invite mr benny hand to lead the ceremony thank you and. thank you. thank you tom.

we have gathered here in the warsaw ghetto square at yad vashem on the mound of remembrance jerusalem to commemorate the 6000000 jews murdered by the nazis and their collaborators i'm honored to invite holocaust survivors ms rose moscowitz and ms. chairperson of the central organization of holocaust survivors in israel to light the memorial torch. thank you.

i didn't do for geisha. as we can build a memorial torch we unite with the bliss of the memory of 6000000 of our people who died on martyrs death at the hands of the german nazis and their collaborators of the jewish communities destroyed in the wicked to attempt to eradicate the name culture of israel. we remember with veneration the fortitude of the fighters who

kindled the sublime flame of rebellion among the besieged masses of the ghettos the roid and persistent struggle of the masses of the house of israel on the threshold of destruction for their human dignity and their jewish heritage the righteous among the nations who risked their lives to save jews from persecution and death we will now invite the heads of delegations to lay memorial reads at the foot of the warsaw ghetto uprising monument. will be presented to the heads of the legations by members of the jerusalem youth council.

the honorable prove in the movie review and president of the state of israel. the honorable binyamin netanyahu prime minister of the state of israel. and.

his majesty king villa mom and son there of the netherlands. you're watching live coverage from a yacht bash him and his majesty has you know the king one who does have gathered to pay respects to those who were killed in the holocaust as well asked to mock the 75th anniversary off. the liberation of the auschwitz death camp just a short while ago we saw the lighting of the memorial that was lit by 2 holocaust

survivors rose moskovitz and colette. and now we are seeing some of the leaders placing their wreaths in tribute to those who lost their lives in the holocaust as well as in honor of the survivors some 100 of them are there attending the ceremony. here we see king philippe of spain walking up during the last few hours we've heard 10 speakers 4 of them from the allied past the 2nd world war plus the president of germany the 1st leader from germany to address people at the. we had 3 videos of ceremonies began with a video looking back at the ghettos the jewish ghettos and looking at the 2nd video looking at the liberation of auschwitz and then contemporary life jewish life in

the world. there are also 3 musical interludes that we heard over the past 3 hours. various leaders spoke and an underlying theme in most of what everyone said the importance to remember. and the importance to fight and to submit isn't his royal highness prince as we watch the leaders there in tribute to the victims of the holocaust with me in the studio i have did chief political correspondent. who's been watching these ceremonies with me as we see prince charles is not going up. to place his there he was one of the people who spoke and he had a very personal connection at the settlement he talked about his grandmother who was honored as one of the righteous of nations for saving a jewish family. yes a very poignant moment there also hearing from such

a personal perspective and it was a long time representing him which of course also force nazi germany we heard i thought was a rather remarkable speech from the german president frank steinmeyer gets about in the moment but all of the leaders who spoke here today basically pledge that they would fight. this is also what israel's president rivlin basically had requested from all the nations gathered there with the world bearing witness to make that promise that they would engage in the fight against semitism and i thought it was rather pointed to hear from the rabbi loud they're also one part of a leading committee of the. saying yes we hear you we believe you he himself of course being a holocaust survivor and clearly also something that really resonates with me hearing from someone who survived basically what was the death sentence the arrival

in. any kind of likelihood of making it hard through the next couple of months in some cases days even saying yes we believe you but he clearly wants to see the world translate this into actions. in the example of noah's ark even where all species were able to live together not fighting each other and that mankind should at least learn from these animals of course referring back to the old testament there and. referring to sam which has an eternal flame and germany's commitment to the security of jewish life being just as the turn or as this flame so i think it really moving ceremony there does a lot more than simply mark the date it's really saw world leaders come together on this point of of not just tackling anti semitism but thereby defending human values

actually the focus of the event was they much as remembering the holocaust and fighting and semitism with any surprises for you in this and many a was it as predictable what was said was what you had expected but i thought it was. actually staying with the german president who clearly was in a very. difficult position there because he was representing the land of the perpetrators so in deep grass to to even be allowed to be there for germany to have been able to establish this relationship with israel as an ally in the modern world making this a very personal speech also saying i stand here as a german laden with guilt so i think you managed to navigate very well we also heard from our israeli colleagues here that this is resonating very being received very positively in israel that is not simply

a remembrance of 75 years of the atrocities that mankind has left behind itself but also a commitment and a credible commitment into the future also the honest look into the depths of. what is really happening in germany and in europe and as we saw in those videos across the world that this renewed rise of anti semitism made it impossible for him to say what he would love to say that somehow germany was immune to a new rise of anti-semitism and racism and that germany had learned its lessons so that clearly is something that very much translates into the president's we heard a lot of references to history yes this is all history we spoke to but particular to the survivors there this is something that is in their every day lives and this remains a challenge for all our societies particular democratic societies into the future because the german president front understand my a very strongly emphasizing not just his guilt but a deep sense of gratitude that he had been invited to take part in the ceremony and

also talked about the miracle of reconciliation which was a very powerful expression of how far relations between the 2 countries israel and germany have come since those terrible and very dark days of the holocaust absolutely and this is really cool i think it's a remarkable scene to see not just the borough president being allowed to speak at the adversary but also to then come off the stage and shake hands with the leaders of all 4 allied powers and to representatives from israel from whatever time i also met survivors yesterday even i think it's also really for on a personal note very remarkable that these survivors were willing to meet him so clearly germany has some credibility with those whose lives have been destroyed lost who have lost many relatives in the holocaust and i think this can be seen as really quite remarkable historical development also in itself at the same time what

really surprised me here how much this is future oriented and how much this has been a reminder that yes they might come for the jews but it never stops that this is an attack on free society and on my mankind in itself. also saw several references there to the united nations to the founding countries of the united nations known as the p 5 amongst them china france britain to really come together once again and restate their commitment to international law you know we're just looking at pictures of people still placing their wreaths there. it was an amusing turnout of international leaders we had almost 50 heads of state heads of government members of the royal family politicians past and present how important do you think most is gesture of solidarity from the world towards israel and understand the pain of its history and giving

a dream assurance that things will be better in the future in fighting anti-semitism i think this was absolutely crucial for israel for the jews that survived the holocaust but also their descendants this is something that weighs heavily heavily on of people and i was just thinking watching this i mean i come from the nation of very tense and committed this breach of civilization this weighs heavy on german society it is a commitment into the future. but it doesn't. in a way i wonder how much heavier this weighs on the survivors to be to never be able to escape what was done to their lives so i think it's really remarkable to see that kind of solidarity for them but also to hear from those very survivors of reminded that yes i hear you i believe you but also with the request and the expectation that this will translate into the protection of

jews into the future and of course of the most significant parts was the testimony by because he himself was an inmate of a concentration camp at the age of 7 and a half and he said he can never forgive and forget but he wants to look forward and work together and he had a coup phil thank you very much for your insights on this set of many that just been witnessing in. now you've been watching did have the special news coverage of the memorial. at yad vashem was holocaust remembrance center in jerusalem dozens of one leaders gathered there to pay tribute to holocaust victims and commemorate the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the auschwitz death camp german president from pakistan my uncle was the 1st german leader to give an address at yad vashem saying it was a gift of mercy to address survivors time i highlighted germany's historical responsibility to fight and to stand which is a. thank you very much for a company that's it from me under such
