Throughout history, times of pandemics and epidemics in history have always been times when Antisemitism spread like a virus. We see how in conspiracy theories, Israel and Jews are associated with the spread of the corona virus.
At the international Holocaust conference in Yad Vashem in January this year, some 55 heads of state from around the world committed themselves to actively combating Antisemitism in their countries. At a time of global corona crisis, we cannot sit by and wait for this to happen.
On the occasion of the Jewish Holocaust Memorial Day Yom haShoah, the March of Life Movement is holding an international online conference. Even if marches cannot take place due to the worldwide restrictions, we raise our voice from 25 nations in memory of the Shoah, for reconciliation and to set a sign for Israel and against Antisemitism:
In this time of the worldwide corona crisis we stand together, and together we declare: “Stop the Virus of Antisemitism!” To be active from home means to do the right thing to heal the nation! Tikkun Olam!
