On Holocaust Remembrance Day: Silence About Antisemitism Is Allowing People To Forget – The Lid

January 27th is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Ironically it’s a day created by the United Nations to remember and honor the 6 million Jews and millions of others put through the horrors and murdered by the Nazis. Sadly, Antisemitism wasn’t a short-lived scourge that existed only during the brief period when the Nazis held power. 

The hatred of Jews has afflicted people of diverse ethnicity, religions, and political views for around 3,800 years. Ever since, as described in the book of Exodus,” there arose up a new king over Egypt, which knew not Joseph.” His excuse for making the children of Israel slaves is still used by anti-Semites today— dual loyalty.
