yad vashem last week that they will fight against anti-semitism and racism in every form well ronald lauder said he wants to see action and he wants to see tougher laws and the state really clamp down where it can against the hatred particularly seen online that leads people to then also acts and one example that one law decided to to me but not in his speech today was the attack in howler last october where we saw one man trying to enter a synagogue in germany trying to kill jews luckily failed to enter and then killed 2 innocent bystanders and there's a clear link for a lot of says from the hatred online that isn't being tackled enough and people then actually acting upon that talk with us a little bit more about germany's role specifically today especially given its role nazi germany in perpetrating the holocaust. well germany's president. the highest representative of germany was here today in the morning he received 3 survivors and they then came with him here to this commemoration on board the presidential plane this has to really be seen in context with the ceremony at yad vashem tha

we have to mention though something else that ronald lauder set in he essentially equated criticism of israel to anti semitism highly critical in fact of these united nations resolutions he may mention that there were 202 of them against certain actions in israel what do you make of that particular message especially at a ceremony like the one that we've seen today because there is some controversy well i think myself that whatever you think whatever you will put political views in terms of the state of israel the middle east conflict that this is not in my view your taste to use history to do that the oldest by a president incidentally i think did something rather similar in his in his speech also he off to saying that it should not be instrumental ised or exploited for political purposes he did it on the side in his speech i think into glorifying the role of the poles and and poland in the 2nd world war and i think that that is not appropriate in these circumstances and i think it it really can easily backfire particularly what ronald motor was doing identifying. anti semitism with a

world jewish congress president ronald lauder says there is another reason survivors need to tell their stories now. are you concerned at the rise of anti-semitism over the past few years? >> i'm very concerned about it, because when i look at what happened and i speak to survivors, and they tell me how it started off very small. it got bigger and bigger and bigger and bigger. >> is that what you're seeing? >> i'm seeing that same thing. >> reporter: the survivors' numbers are dwindling. few will ever be back to this place. all that remains are the wires and the watchtowers and the ovens and their stories. >>> tributes are still pouring in from around the world for basketball superstar kobe bryant. as you likely know now, bryant was killed along with his daughter and seven others when their helicopter crashed in thick fog outside los angeles. in addition to being a basketball legend, bryant was writer and an inspiration to many, butis most important role was that as dad, as he explained to dana jacobsen. >> as you you've can see, we've got this makeshift memorial, keepsakes that are the

well i also had the opportunity to talk to a ronald lauder the head of the world jewish congress and he said that words would simply not be enough he wants to see more action and when he talks of action he means the internet because he says that the hatred comes from somewhere he would like to see government's crackdown on internet hate that is spread the bubbles of hate and said that as something like the attack and holler at the end of last year in germany were a man tried to enter a synagogue but luckily failed but 2 innocent bystanders being killed that was due to internet hatred that that is something that is spreading and also the message here from the survivors in particular was that the opposite of love is not hatred it's indifference and it's the indifference to this hatred that many of them are more worried about now 75 years after than they were only a couple of years ago according to a few i spoke to chief political editor michel in auschwitz thank you so much for bringing us those perspectives. for in china health officials have announced that they expect to see the coro
