YOM HASHOAH 2012

A message from Ralph Hofmann,

President of B'nai B'rith Europe

Dear Sisters, Dear Brothers

From sunset yesterday, 18th April 2012, Jews around the world stood together to remember the victims of the Nazis.

The period of the Shoah should also be remembered by those non-Jews who allowed this terrible event to happen, who looked elsewhere when their neighbours were taken away. In recent years the dangers to our people have increased at frightening speed and the existence of the State of Israel has become more important than ever before.

B'nai B'rith continually fights anti-Israel sentiments and anti-semitism, and, at our forthcoming Executive meeting of B'nai B'rith Europe these problems will be debated. Please help us by sharing with us your personal experiences - a brief letter or e-mail to our Brussels office.

May G-d bless the souls of those who were slain and may they rest in peace.

Fraternally yours,

Ralph Hofmann

President, B'nai B'rith Europe
