“In the eight decades since the Holocaust, the growing trend toward the universalization of the Holocaust has long since gotten out of hand.

Jacob Howland Unherd, Jan. 27, 2025 “Political opportunism and widespread antisemitism have distorted the way the Holocaust is remembered.” When Soviet soldiers liberated Auschwitz 80 years ago today, on 27 January 1945, they found only 7,000 gravely ill and dying inmates. The SS had left them behind when they hastily abandoned the camp for Germany […]
Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, Jan. 26, 2025 “… these commemorations are not assisting in educating the world about where tolerance of Jew-hatred leads.” In the 20 years since it was created by a vote in the U.N. General Assembly in 2005, International Holocaust Remembrance Day has become a staple of the world community’s calendar. It […]
Deborah Fineblum JNS, Jan. 22, 2025 “Survivors went about starting new lives with their bare hands.

Ruth R. Wisse WSJ, Jan. 23, 2025 “This war against the Jews isn’t like the last.

Jonathan S. Tobin JNS, May 7, 2024 “Biden has essentially been playing a double game on the war with Hamas since Oct. 7.” When President Joe Biden wants to say the right things about Israel and antisemitism, he knows how to do it. Much like his comments immediately after the Oct. 7 massacres, his speech at a Holocaust […]

Meir Y. Soloveichik First Things, January 2024 “Anti-Semitism is not a hatred of difference; it is a hatred of Jews.” The collection of Yad Vashem, Israel’s museum of the Holocaust and memorial to its victims, presents us with a chronicle of human barbarity and evil. But in its celebration of those “Righteous Gentiles” who protected […]

Joel Kotkin UnHerd, Oct. 31, 2023 “… as protecting Jews increasingly becomes less of a priority, the very nature of Jewish identity will evolve with it.” It is a warm Monday morning in Rome, and the city’s ancient ghetto resembles an armed camp. As carabinieri line the streets, a cloud of melancholy hangs in the air: not […]
