The anniversary takes place at a time when reports of anti-Semitism are increasing across Europe. One Jewish organization said in a recent report that the incidence of anti-Semitic acts in France had doubled over the past year. “Jews are targeted in Europe once again because they are Jews,” Ronald S. Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress and a major contributor to the preservation of the museum complex, said at the ceremony. Mr. Lauder, 70, said the recent terrorist attacks in Paris, including one at a kosher supermarket, had prompted him to radically change the remarks he intended to deliver. He called on the world leaders in the audience to adopt policies of zero tolerance toward hatred of any kind. “Unless this is checked right now, it will be too late,” he said. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/01/28/world/europe/holocaust-survivors-ever-dwindling-in-number-gather-at-auschwitz- for-memorial.html?_r=0 On Auschwitz anniversary, leaderwarns Jews again targets Published January 27, 2015, Associated Press BRZEZINKA, Poland – A Jewish leader stood Tuesday before 300 survivors of the Nazis' most notorious death camp and asked world leaders to prevent another Auschwitz, warning of a rise of anti-Semitism that has made many Jews fearful of walking the streets, and is causing many to flee Europe. Ronald Lauder, the president of the World Jewish Congress, made his bleak assessment on the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, speaking next to the gate and the railroad tracks that marked the last journey for more than a million people murdered at Auschwitz-Birkenau. He said his speech was shaped by the recent terrorist attacks in France that targeted Jews and newspaper satirists. "For a time, we thought that the hatred of Jews had finally been eradicated. But slowly the demonization of Jews started to come back," Lauder said. "Once again, young Jewish boys are afraid to wear yarmulkes on the streets of Paris and Budapest and London. Once again, Jewish businesses are targeted. And once again, Jewish families are fleeing Europe." http://www.foxnews.com/world/2015/01/27/leaders-survivors-mark-70th-anniversary-auschwitz-liberation-by-soviets- but/ Auschwitz Ceremony Marks 70 Years Since Liberation BY LUCY WESTCOTT 1/26/15 AT 6:21 PM Auschwitz survivor Mordechai Ronen, of Canada, becomes overwhelmed as he stands next to the World Jewish Congress President Ronald S.

LASZLO BALOGH/REUTERS http://www.newsweek.com/auschwitz-ceremony-marks-70-years-liberation-302138 Auschwitz liberation 70th anniversary: Woman sent to three Nazi death camps describes surviving gas chamber THE INDEPENDENT, UK 28 JANUARY 2015KASHMIRA GANDER A grandmother who survived being held in no less than three Nazi concentration camps as a young woman, has spoken of how she managed to escape a gas chamber. Ronald Lauder, president of the World Jewish Congress, cites the massacres in Paris, which targeted Jews and newspaper satirists, as proof of growing hatred and extremism. "Shortly after World War II, after we saw the reality of Auschwitz and the other death camps, no normal person wanted to be associated with the anti-Semitism of the Nazis," Lauder said. "But, as the Holocaust grows more distant and survivors disappear, extremists grow more bold in targeting Jews. Stoked by a false narrative that blames Israel for a litany of the world's problems, anti- Semitism is resurgent and deadly." http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/auschwitz-liberation-70th-anniversary- woman-sent-to-three-nazi-death-camps-describes-surviving-gas-chamber-10003895.html ‬ ‬‬ Auschwitz anniversary a reminder of the danger of staying silent BY CHRISTIAN LOWEWARSAW Mon Dec 29, 2014 8:43am GMT (Reuters) - Next month's 70th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp is a reminder, at a time when anti-Semitism is on the rise again, of what happens when the world stays silent about persecution, the president of the World Jewish Congress said. Ronald S. Lauder told Reuters in an interview anti-Semitism had reached levels not seen since World War Two, driven by Islamist extremists using hatred of Jews as a way to attackIsrael, and by far-right nationalists in Europe. He said the commemorations on Jan. 27 to mark the day Soviet troops liberated Auschwitz in 1945 would be the last major anniversary when survivors would be able to attend in numbers. The youngest are now in their 70s. "I believe it is a good reminder to people of what happens when we remain silent, and the world was silent when Hitler was starting, the world was silent when Jews were taken away, the world was silent at Kristallnacht and in many ways, although many people knew what was happening in the concentration camps, it was not publicised," Lauder said. "After World War Two, into the 50s, 60s and 70s, the type of anti-Semitism we see today, nobody would ever have thought of happening. But as time has gone on and generations have passed, we see the rise of anti-Semitism." "Hopefully this commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the freeing of Auschwitz, and the ceremonies that will take place, may remind the world what it is happens when anti-Semitism is allowed to run wild, so to speak." At the Auschwitz camp, in southern Poland, the Nazis killed some 1.5 million people between 1940 and 1945, most of them Jews. Lauder, who has helped fund conservation efforts to preserve artefacts at Auschwitz including inmates' hair and shoes, said the World Jewish Congress would this year bring about 100 survivors and their families to Poland to take part in the commemorations. He said Hungary, where the far-right Jobbik party is now the second biggest political force, was one example of a European country where a political party was fanning anti-Semitism. "The government will talk about 'There is no place for anti-Semitism in the world,' but that is not necessarily speeches being made inside Hungary," Lauder said. "There is a total disconnect between what they say for external consumption and internal consumption." http://uk.reuters.com/article/2014/12/29/uk-auschwitz-anniversary-lauder-intervie-idUKKBN0K70G820141229 The Voices of Auschwitz Written by Anthony Faiola, Ruth Eglash, Michelle Boorstein Published on January 23, 2015 There are fewer and fewer of those who still remember. The Soviet army entered Auschwitz — the network of extermination camps operated by Nazi Germany in occupied Poland — on Jan. 27, 1945, liberating the most notorious site of the Holocaust. In the decades since, groups of survivors have gathered to honor that day — including an annual remembrance at Auschwitz itself. This year, they mark the 70th anniversary of liberation on Tuesday — a day that, for a significant portion of remaining survivors, may be the last major remembrance of their lifetimes. The numbers themselves tell the story. A decade ago, 1,500 survivors traveled to Auschwitz in southern Poland to mark the 60th anniversary. This year, organizers are expecting 300 or so. “This is the last big one for many of the survivors,” said Ronald Lauder, billionaire philanthropist and president of the World Jewish Congress, which is financing the travel expenses for more than 100 survivors. “By the time we reach the 75th anniversary, there may be almost no survivors left. But they are coming now, because they want to bear witness, to stand there and say, “we outlasted Hitler. We made it.’” The survivors partly carry a legacy of horror, memories of the brutality of a labor prison that, by September of 1941, became an assembly line of death where more than 1 million would perish at the hands of the Third Reich.

While his fundraising and donation history is sporadic, he was considerably active for Democrats and Obama in 2008 and 2012. • As a registered Democrat, and someone who has financially supported Democrats, do you have any reservations about working in a Republican administration, and if so what are they? • Will you agree to cease all political activity and donations in support of Democratic candidates and causes inconsistent with the political goals of the President-elect while working within the administration? • Do you believe the aggressive rhetoric of this past campaign season has damaged Mr. Trump’s ability to governor? Hedging on Mr. Trump during the Campaign Deadline Background: During the campaign, Emanuel refused to answer whether he would welcome Trump back as a client if he lost the election. However, it should be noted Emanuel does have a lengthy positive professional history with Trump. • Given your history working with Mr. Trump, your lack of support during the campaign was notable.
