We must take responsibility to learn the lessons of the Holocaust and work with compassion and mercy in our hearts to act on them. If we do not, we will have failed mankind. Akbar S. Ahmed, former High Commissioner of Pakistan to Great Britain; Ibn Khaldun Chair of Islamic Studies American University, Washington, D.C. Confronting Hatred and Antisemitism “ he longest hatred” did not disappear in Hitler’s bunker. Only 60 T years after Auschwitz, it is clear that antisemitism still exists and even thrives. Unique among hatreds, antisemitism is remark- ably durable and adaptable. Its ability to remain active in so many different cultural, political, economic and religious contexts for more than two millennia speaks to its utter distinctiveness. Many Americans do not understand this. They may know some- thing about the Holocaust, but they are probably not aware of the long history of antisemitism or of its resurgence today. That is why educating our visitors—90 percent of whom are not Jewish—as well as the millions we reach each year from almost every country worldwide is such an urgent priority. With our exhibitions, archives, scholarship, public programs and technology, the Museum is uniquely positioned to counter the spread of antisemitic propaganda and Holocaust denial with evi- dence of the truth. And the Museum’s vast reach, from American schoolchildren to heads of state, gives it a unique opportunity to remind the world just how dangerous antisemitism remains. ushmm.org 5 C ONFRONTING HATRED AND ANTISEMITISM Countering Extremism In response to the December 2005 comments of Iranian President Mahmud Ahmadinejad, in which he declared the Holocaust a “myth” and said Israel should be “wiped off the map,” the Museum de- nounced his hateful statements, in both Arabic and Farsi (below).

The TMuseum honors the memory of those who suffered in the Holocaust by confronting genocide and threats of genocide today. Working with Holocaust survivors and an array of Jewish, Christian and secular organizations, the Museum played a key role in galvanizing the widespread public outcry over the crisis in Darfur, Sudan. In fact, the Museum called the situation a genocide in July 2004—nearly two months before then-Secretary of State Colin Powell followed suit.

Some of the most notorious hedge fund vultures are using their role as investors to make sure PG&E’s bankruptcy leads to big profits for their firms—at the expense of ratepayers, public safety and the environment.

  • Sigmund Allein Unter Feinden Amazonjs
    7 Fragen an den Autor Thomas Sigmund zu seinem Buch „Allein unter Feinden? – Was der Staat für unsere Sicherheit tut – und was nicht“ Herr Sigmund, versagt der Staat beim Schutz seiner Bürger? Der Staat tut viel für die Sicherheit der Bürger. Justiz und Polizei arbeiten rund um die Uhr. Doch das alles reicht nicht. Woran machen Sie das konkret fest? Unsere innere Sicherheit ist bedroht wie noch nie seit Ende des Krieges. Einbrüche, U- Bahn-Treter, Cyberangriffe oder der Terror. Schauen Sie sich einfach die Hass- Postings im Internet, den wachsenden Rechtsextremismus oder die zunehmenden Angriffe auf Minderheiten an. Da ist etwas verrutscht in der Gesellschaft. Gibt es Gewalt nicht schon immer? Die derzeitige starke Verunsicherung der Bürger ist mehr als ein Gefühl. Eine einschneidende Zäsur waren die Vorkommnisse in der Silvesternacht in Köln 2015 an. Da waren nicht nur Polizei und Justiz weit über ihre Belastungsgrenze angekommen. Vor allem waren die Fehleinschätzungen der Politik und die mangelnde Handlungsfähigkeit des Staates erschreckend. Bis heute gibt es übrigens nur eine Handvoll Urteile gegen die Täter bei insgesamt 1200 Opfern. Doch es geht nicht nur um die Vorkommnisse auf der Kölner Domplatte Sondern? Wir haben auch eine steigende Zahl an Einbrüchen von international agierenden Einbrecherbanden aus Osteuropa, gegen die die Polizei machtlos scheint. Das einfache aber große Versprechen des Staates, das Privateigentum zu schützen ist zu oft nichts mehr wert. In den Polizeistatistiken wird zwar die Aufklärungsquote mit rund 15 Prozent beziffert; dazu zählen aber auch Fälle, die dann vor Gericht von vornherein nicht nachgewiesen werden können. So sinkt die tatsächliche Zahl auf nur rund 2,5 Prozent.

  • Opening Statements
    Opening Statements Opening Ceremony Remarks at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum Mr. Miles Lerman CHAIRMAN, UNITED STATES HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL COUNCIL UNITED STATES It is proper and most fitting that this conference began with a symbolic ceremony of silent contemplation in the Hall of Remembrance of the Holocaust Memorial Museum where we invoked memory and paid tribute to those who were consumed in the Nazi inferno. Now let me welcome you to the Washington Conference on Holocaust-Era Assets. The United States Holocaust Memorial Museum is pleased to co-chair with the State Department this historic event. For the next three days representatives of 44 countries will have the opportunity to explore a just and orderly return of confiscated assets to their rightful owners. It took over 50 years for the world to come to grips with the fact that the biggest murder of the century; it was also, as my friend Ben Meed reminds us, the biggest robbery in history. This fact is not limited to one country only. What really shocked the conscience of the world was the discovery that even after the war, some countries tried to gain materially from this cataclysm by refusing to return to the rightful owners what was justly theirs. The refusal to respond to these rightful claims was a great injustice, a moral wrong which can not be ignored. And this is what brings us together today. We are here to make sure that these wrongs are corrected in a just and proper manner. 4 WASHINGTON CONFERENCE ON HOLOCAUST-ERA ASSETS Under Secretary Eizenstat and Edgar Bronfman deserve our gratitude for their unrelenting efforts to bring about full accountability for all wrongs that must be made right.
