EJC welcomes Luxembourg apology for role in Holocaust

Europski židovski kongres pozdravlja ispriku Luksemburga za  ulogu u Holokaustu



The European Jewish Congress (EJC) has applauded the Luxembourg Government for its official apology to the Jewish community for its "suffering" during the Nazi occupation in World War II, in the first gesture of its kind from the duchy. “We welcome this apology, even if it is very late and when unfortunately many Holocaust survivors are not around to witness it,” Dr. Moshe Kantor, President of the EJC, said in response. “We continue to hope and call on all relevant nations who have not done so, to follow this example and apologise for its role in the Holocaust, especially as the number of survivors is starting to dwindle.”


Europski židovski kongres je  pozdravio odluku vlade Luksemburga za službenu ispriku Židovskoj zajednici za "patnju" u vrijeme nacističke okupacije u II. svjetskom ratu, što je prva takva gesta u zemlji. "Mi pozdravljamo ovu ispriku iako je vrlo kasna  i kada nažalost mnogi preživjeli Holokausta ne mogu više biti svjedoci." rekao je dr. Moshe Kantor ,predsjednik EJC: "Mi  se nastavljamo nadati i pozivamo i druge nacije da učine isto, da slijede taj primjer i ispričaju se za svoju ulogu u Holokaustu, osobito sada kada se broj preživjelih smanjuje." Od 3.700 Židova koji su živjeli u Luksemburgu prije rata,1.200 je ubijeno između svibnja 1940 i rujna 1944 u vrijeme nacističke okupacije.
