    INSS Insight No. 1257, February 6, 2020 Five Insights from the Fifth World Holocaust Forum Michal Hatuel-Radoshitzky The fifth World Holocaust Forum was held in Jerusalem on January 23, 2020, with the participation of 47 world leaders an unprecedented number when compared with previous forums – marking the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz- Birkenau. Some of the countries that exhibited a unified front against antisemitism are not expected to stop criticizing or condemning Israeli policy in other international forums. Therefore, it is important to address concrete arguments against Israeli policy seriously, while avoiding as much as possible labeling them as tainted with antisemitism. In addition, Israel should establish a direct line to government representatives of those countries to demand concrete and determined action against antisemitism. Moreover, Israel should establish dialogues with the representatives of diaspora Jewish communities as part of a long term process of strategic thinking about the State of Israel’s role in dealing with rising antisemitism. One issue that should be discussed in these dialogues is the development of a response to the challenge of the receding memory of the Holocaust. The Israeli establishment should likewise expand cooperative efforts with civil society organizations beyond the area of Holocaust remembrance. The fifth World Holocaust Forum was held in Jerusalem on January 23, 2020, with the participation of 47 world leaders an unprecedented number when compared with previous forums. Marking the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the event was entitled “Remembering the Holocaust, Fighting Antisemitism.” The World Holocaust Forum was established in 2005, to mark the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, and since then has convened to mark significant milestones in Holocaust commemoration.

  • World Holocaust Forum 2020
    European Commission - Press release Presidents von der Leyen, Sassoli and Michel attend the ‘World Holocaust Forum 2020' in Jerusalem Jerusalem, 23 January 2020 Today, President Ursula von der Leyen together with Presidents of the European Parliament, David Sassoli and the European Council, Charles Michel are in Jerusalem, where they will be joining world leaders at the ‘World Holocaust Forum 2020: Remembering the Holocaust, fighting anti-Semitism'. The Forum is organised ahead of the International Holocaust Remembrance Day on 27 January, which will mark 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. Ahead of this important anniversary, the 3 Presidents issued a joint statement, in which they said: “The Holocaust was a European tragedy, it was a turning point in our history and its legacy is woven into the DNA of the European Union. Remembering the Shoah is not an end in itself. It is one cornerstone of European values. A Europe that places humanity at its centre, protected by the rule of law, democracy and fundamental rights. […] As the numbers of survivors is dwindling, we will have to find new ways to remember, embracing the testimonies of the descendants of survivors. […] We have a duty to stand shoulder to shoulder with Jewish communities as they feel again threatened across Europe - most recently in Halle, Germany. All EU Member States stand united in the determination that any form of racism, antisemitism and hatred have no place in Europe and we will do whatever it takes to counter them. […] We cannot change history, but the lessons of history can change us.” On Monday, Vice- Presidents Věra Jourová and Margaritis Schinas will be in Poland to participate in the 75th anniversary of liberation of the German Nazi concentration and extermination camp Auschwitz- Birkenau.

  • Canada 2020 International Religious Freedom Report
    CANADA 2020 INTERNATIONAL RELIGIOUS FREEDOM REPORT Executive Summary The constitution guarantees freedom of conscience, religion, thought, belief, opinion, expression, and the right to equal protection and benefit of the law without discrimination based on religion. The government does not require religious groups to register, but some registered groups may receive tax-exempt status. In November, the Quebec Court of Appeal reduced the sentence of a man to 25 years before eligibility for parole after he pled guilty in 2018 to six counts of first-degree murder for the 2017 killing of six worshippers at the Islamic Cultural Centre of Quebec. In November and December, a Quebec court concurrently heard challenges by four groups of plaintiffs, including the National Council of Canadian Muslims, Canadian Civil Liberties Association, the English Montreal School Board, a Quebec teachers union, and individuals to strike down as unconstitutional a provincial law prohibiting certain categories of government employees from wearing religious symbols while exercising their official functions. The law remained in force through year’s end. Provincial governments imposed societal restrictions on assembly, including for all faith groups, to limit the transmission of COVID-19, but some religious communities said provincial orders and additional measures were discriminatory. Quebec authorities imposed a temporary mandatory COVID-19 quarantine on a Hasidic Jewish community in a suburb of Montreal that some members said was discriminatory because it applied only to Jews, although the religious community had initiated the quarantine voluntarily. Some members of Hutterite colonies in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta said they experienced societal discrimination outside their communities due to provincial governments publishing outbreaks of COVID-19 in Hutterite communities.
