Guterres warned of rising anti-Semitic sentiment in Europe and the USA

This was reported by TASS with reference to his statement, presented in a collection of quotes from world leaders on the fight against anti-Semitism.

The UN Secretary General noted the “alarming picture”, which is evidenced by the static data and the results of the polls.

“Cases of anti-Semitic attacks in the US and Europe have become more frequent. Nazi symbols and slogans remain widespread. Continued attempts to deny the Holocaust and distort history indicate that anti-Semitic sentiments are still strong, ”the text says.

Guterres called in memory of the victims of the Holocaust to fight anti-Semitism and other forms of hatred.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin, at a meeting with Israeli leader Reuven Rivlin, recalled that anti-Semitism ends with Auschwitz and called on to resist any manifestations of xenophobia and anti-Semitism in the world.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz thanked Putin, who arrived in Israel at the World Holocaust Forum, for the liberation of Auschwitz by the Red Army.
