    October 29, 2020 Hon. Scott S. Harris Clerk of the Court Supreme Court of the United States 1 First St. NE Washington, DC 20543 Re: No. 19-351, Federal Republic of Germany, et al. v. Philipp, et al. and No. 18-1447, Republic of Hungary, et al. v. Simon, et al. Dear Clerk Harris: In accordance with Rule 32(3) of the Rules of the Supreme Court of the United States, amici curiae the World Jewish Congress, Commission for Art Recovery, and Ambassador Ronald S. Lauder submit this proposal to lodge certain non-record materials with the Court. These cases concern in part whether takings that took place during the Nazi regimes in Germany and Hungary violated international law, such that Petitioners are not immune from suit in a U.S. court pursuant to the Foreign Sovereign Immunities Act, 28 U.S.C. § 1605(a)(3). Among the issues now briefed in both cases is the proper historical perspective from which those events and the applicable law should be viewed. In support of the brief filed with this Court by the undersigned amici curiae, Ambassador Lauder has prepared a brief statement, based upon his decades of commitment to representing the interests of Jews and Jewish communities throughout the world. His statement underscores the scale and devastation of the theft and expropriation utilized as part of the Nazis’ genocidal campaign in Europe and the connection between genocide and the takings, particularly with respect to art and cultural objects such as the collection of artifacts at issue in Philipp. Ambassador Lauder’s statement also provides information regarding the importance of the Holocaust Expropriated Art Recovery Act in developing U.S.

    RABBI ARTHUR SCHNEIER PARK EAST DAY SCHOOL Parents and School Continued from cover wonderful bond between Park East Day School and its parents. Our Parent Association Board members continually meet and work toward our common goals. Events such as the Champagne & Sushi Social and Family Fun Day were festive and enjoyable occasions for families to come together and share more than simple, daily school routines. Special events create a school spirit, and desire to play a part in “the Park East Family.” Pathways WINTER 2014 | VOLUME 5 | 5774 Our beautiful new playground is a tribute to the outstanding work of our Parent Association, and its dedication to making this long-awaited addition to our school a reality. The gleeful faces of the children, in all grades, as they run out to recess onto the bright new space, mirror sheer delight every recess. The significance of having families that are devoted to our institution is invaluable. The presence of mothers and fathers, grandparents, extended family members, and our students, at specially planned events throughout the year, brings Park East to the forefront of city institutions- educational establishments that are so much more than simply places to learn New York State curriculum. We exemplify the essence of a large family that worships, learns, plays, and grows together. We are so very fortunate, and grateful to have the continued support of our amazing Parent Association, and look forward to all the wonderful contributions that this group affords the members of the Park East Day School I Rabbi Schneier’s Message: community all year long.

  • World Jewish Congress on Eliminating Intolerance and Discrimination Based on Religion Or Belief and the Achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG 16)
    Submission by the World Jewish Congress on Eliminating Intolerance and Discrimination Based on Religion or Belief and the Achievement of Sustainable Development Goal 16 (SDG 16) Introduction The World Jewish Congress is the representative body of more than 100 Jewish communities around the globe. Since its founding in 1936, the WJC has prioritized the values embodied in SDG 16 for the achievement of peaceful, just and inclusive societies. It does so by, inter alia, countering antisemitism and hatred, advocating for the rights of minorities and spearheading interfaith understanding. Antisemitism is a grave threat to the attainment of SDG 16, undermining the prospect of peaceful, just and inclusive societies which are free from fear and violence. Antisemitism concerns us all because it poses a threat to the most fundamental values of democracy and human rights. As the world’s “oldest hatred,” antisemitism exposes the failings in each society. Jews are often the first group to be scapegoated but, unfortunately, they are not the last. Hateful discourse that starts with the Jews expands to other members of society and threatens the basic fabric of modern democracies, rule of law and the protection of human rights. Antisemitism is on the rise globally. Virtually every opinion poll and study in the last few years paints a very dark picture of the rise in antisemitic sentiments and perceptions. As examples: • According to the French interior ministry, in 2018, antisemitic incidents rose sharply by 74% compared to the year before.1 In 2019, antisemitic acts in the country increased by another 27%.2 • According to crime data from the German government, in 2018 there was a 60% rise in physical attacks against Jewish targets, compared to 2017.3 • In Canada, violent antisemitic incidents increased by 27% in 2019, making the Jewish community the most targeted religious minority in the country.4 1 https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/12/world/europe/paris-anti-semitic-attacks.html.
