The start of the 2024 EJA Auschwitz Delegation

November 18, 2024

Today begins the important gathering of the EJA Auschwitz Delegation, marking 80 years since the Liberation of Auschwitz. This solemn anniversary prompts reflection on a troubling reality: antisemitism continues to rise, reaching levels not seen since the days before Kristallnacht.

The discussions today will address:

Why does antisemitism persist in higher education despite widespread adoption of the IHRA definition?
How has antizionism become synonymous with antisemitism, affecting Jewish life across Europe?

Key speakers this morning include:

Rabbi Rabbi Menachem Margolin Chairman of the European Jewish Association
Ruth Isaac Director of EU Relations, European Jewish Association
Rabbi @Shlomo Koves, Chief Rabbi of EMIH and Chairman of APL, Hungary

Stay tuned as these leaders and others tackle these pressing issues.

The campaign with the portrait of Mr. Soros

The delegation who met with Orban included general director of the Rabbinical Center of Europe, Rabbi Menachem Margolin, and Hungarian Rabbis Baruch Oberlander and Shlomo Kovesh, the latter of whom is head of the Unified Hungarian Jewish Congregation.
The meeting followed the inauguration of the opening of a new kosher slaughterhouse in the country, for which they thanked the prime minister for his “commitment to freedom of religion and to the eradication of antisemitism.”
“Though the campaign with the portrait of Mr. Soros is not necessarily very elegant, it has absolutely no relation with, and does not make any mention or even hint to his Jewish origin,” Margolin told the Post on Sunday. “When this claim came up a few times, the government has made it clear that it rejects any means of trying to connect this argument with people’s ancestry.”
