The CEO of the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) has blasted British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn, after he failed to include a reference to Jews and anti-Semitism in his statement on the occasion of International Holocaust Remembrance Day. Corbyn had earlier shared on his Facebook page the message he had written in the Holocaust Educational Trust memorial book. "We should never forget the Holocaust: The millions who died, the millions displaced and cruel hurt their descendants have suffered,” he wrote. "At this, and at all other times, we should reflect and make sure succeeding generations understand the power of words; their power to do good and inspire; and their power to promote hate and division. Let us use their power to educate to inspire but above all to build values of trust and respect,” wrote the Labour leader. ADL CEO Jonathan Greenblatt later tweeted, "To omit any reference to Jews or anti-Semitism in your Holocaust remembrance statement is offensive to us and the millions murdered. Nazi ideology was rooted in hate & anti-Semitism. We can never forget that.” Corbyn has increasingly come under fire for his failure to properly deal with the anti-Semitism within the ranks of the Labour party. Over the last several years, dozens of Labour members have been suspended over their anti-Semitic statements. (Arutz-7) [Comment]

The "Holocaust" refers to the period from January 30, 1933, when Hitler became Chancellor of Germany, to May 8, 1945 the end of the war in Europe. Millions of Jewish men, women and children were murdered by Hitler and his brutal cohorts during this time. While it is impossible to ascertain the exact number of Jewish victims six million is the round figure. Auschwitz concentration camp was a network of concentration and death camps built and operated by the Third Reich in Polish areas annexed by Nazi Germany during World War II. Buchenwald was a German Nazi concentration camp established near Weimar, Germany, in July 1937, one of the first and largest of the concentration camps on German soil. It was in holes such as these that Jewish victims were starved, tortured, subjected to slave labor, beatings, inhumane medical experiments and murdered in gas chambers by the millions. Elderly Holocaust survivors in Israel suffer mental and physical torments to this day. Their children in many cases bear traumatic scars as a result of being raised by such emotionally and physically shattered parents.

USA President Donald Trump on 26 Jan. 2018 condemned the murder of six million Jews during the Holocaust, in a statement on International Holocaust Remembrance Day. "Tomorrow marks the 73rd anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the Nazi death and concentration camp in Poland. We take this opportunity to recall the Nazis’ systematic persecution and brutal murder of six million Jewish people. In their death camps and under their inhuman rule, the Nazis also enslaved and killed millions of Slavs, Roma, people with disabilities, priests and religious leaders, and others who courageously opposed their brutal regime,” said Trump. "Our Nation is indebted to the Holocaust’s survivors. Despite the trauma they carry with them, they continue to educate us by sharing their experiences, strength and wisdom. Although they are aging and their numbers are slowly dwindling, their stories remain with us, giving us the strength to combat intolerance, including anti-Semitism and all other forms of bigotry and discrimination,” he continued. "Every generation must learn and apply the lessons of the Holocaust to prevent new horrors against humanity from occurring.” (Arutz-7) Pray that the battles raging on many fronts against anti-Semitic violence and abuse will be won - and that those who perpetrate such hatred will be severely penalized.
