Germany and the United States launched a new initiative aimed at stemming an alarming recent rise — particularly online — of antisemitism and Holocaust denial.
The two governments announced the start of a US-Germany Holocaust Dialogue that seeks to reverse the trend that gained traction during the coronavirus pandemic, as well as the fallout from last month’s 11-day conflagration between the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip and Israel.
Njemačka i USA su pokrenule novu inicijativu nakon u posljednje vrijeme rastućeg i alarmantnog porasta ( osobito online) antisemitizma i negiranja Holokausta. Dvije vlade su najavile početak US-Njemačka dijaloga o Holokaustu kako bi utjecala na taj trend koji se pojavio u toku pandemije corona virusa kao i za vrijeme 11 dnevnog sukoba između pojasa Gaze ( Hamas) i Izraela. Dijalog će kreirati način kako razviti edukaciju i alate za edukaciju mladih i drugih o zločinima nacista i njihovih suradnika.
U toku svog puta u Njemačku US sekretar Antny Blinken u pratnji njemačkog ministra vanjskih poslova Heiko Maasa te brojnih preživjelih Holokausta su posjetili Memorijal za ubijene Židove u Berlinu

“Holocaust denial and other forms of antisemitism often go hand in hand with homophobia, xenophobia, racism, other hatred,” said Blinken, who is the stepson of a Holocaust survivor. “It’s also a rallying cry for those who seek to tear down our democracies, which we’ve seen in both our countries, [and] often a precursor to violence.”
Maas echoed Blinken’s sentiments and referenced the “torrent of antisemitic conspiracy theories on the Internet and attacks on synagogues.”
