On 15 September 1935, Nazi Germany enacted the Nuremberg Laws, turning antisemitic ideology into law.
91 years later, we remember where the legalisation and normalisation of antisemitism can lead.

EJC President Dr Moshe Kantor participated in the 75th anniversary commemorations of the Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany (@ClaimsCon) in New York.
He joined Holocaust survivors, Jewish leaders and international decision-makers in marking 75 years of an extraordinary mission: securing justice for survivors while ensuring that the memory of the Shoah endures for generations to come.
Established in 1951 in the aftermath of the Holocaust, the Claims Conference has been at the forefront of negotiating compensation and restitution for Holocaust survivors. Over the past seven decades, it has also become one of the world's leading institutions dedicated to preserving the legacy of the Holocaust by funding survivor care, educational programmes, academic research, documentaries, museums, exhibitions, books, and cultural initiatives that safeguard historical truth.
The EJC has maintained a longstanding and close partnership with the Claims Conference. As a member of its Board of Directors, the EJC represents Jewish communities across Europe within the organisation and actively contributes to its vital mission of securing justice for Holocaust survivors, addressing their evolving needs, and preserving the memory and legacy of the Shoah.
The anniversary commemorations served as a powerful reminder that the work of the Claims Conference is far from complete. For the EJC, participating in this milestone reflects our unwavering commitment to defending Jewish life, honouring the survivors who rebuilt their lives after unimaginable tragedy, and ensuring that their stories continue to inspire the fight against antisemitism, hatred, and historical revisionism.
On 11 July 1942, thousands of Jewish men were rounded up in Thessaloniki's Liberty Square, being publicly humiliated and subjected to brutal treatment by the Nazi authorities.
The day became known as "Black Saturday" & started destruction of the city's vibrant Jewish community.

On this day in 1940, the Łódź Ghetto was sealed by the Nazis in occupied Poland.
Around 165,000 Jews were confined to just 1.6 square miles, isolated from the outside world behind fences & guards, with no idea what fate awaited them.
We remember the victims of the Łódź Ghetto.

85 years ago, more than 200,000 workers, tram drivers, factory laborers and civil servants, went on strike to protest the first mass deportations of Jewish citizens.
It was the only large-scale public protest in occupied Europe carried out in direct solidarity with Jews.

On International Holocaust Remembrance Day, we honour the six million Jews murdered in the Shoah and all the victims of Nazi persecution.
We remember not only to preserve history, but to defend truth, dignity and human life.
“Never Again” must always be more than words.

On 20 January 1942, Nazi officials met in Wannsee to coordinate the ‘Final Solution’.
In a matter of hours, the systematic extermination of Europe’s Jews was planned with chilling bureaucracy.
This moment stands as a stark reminder of how hatred can lead to unimaginable crimes.

This week marks the anniversary of the Nazi Nuremberg Laws of 1935 — laws that stripped Jews of their rights and laid the legal groundwork for the Holocaust.
A stark reminder of where state-sponsored hatred can lead.
#OnThisDay 1942, the last Jews of Wiesbaden were deported.
Over three days, 600 men, women, and children were forced from their homes, gathered at the Orthodox synagogue, and sent away on trains.
Most were murdered in Auschwitz.
We honor their memory🕯️

On July 22, 1942, the systematic deportation of Jews from the Warsaw Ghetto to Treblinka began.
In just two months, hundreds of thousands were crammed into trains and sent to their deaths as part of the Nazi regime’s so-called “Final Solution.”
🕯 Memory is a responsibility.
On this day in 1937, the gates of Buchenwald concentration camp opened, marking the beginning of one of the darkest chapters of human history.
Tousands of innocent people would suffer unimaginable cruelty behind its fences.
Today, we remember the victims and the survivors.

On June 12, 1942, Anne Frank turned 13 and began writing the diary that would move the world.
In the face of fear and persecution, she documented her thoughts, hopes, and the harsh reality of life in hiding—leaving behind a timeless voice of the Holocaust.
We commend the Finnish government for taking decisive action against Holocaust denial.
This is not about restricting speech—it's about defending historical truth and rejecting the antisemitism that fuels denial.
Justice demands memory. This law affirms both.

On Yom HaShoah, we pause to remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust and to honour the survivors who carry the torch of memory.
Their stories, courage and resilience compel us to speak out—against antisemitism, against hatred and against indifference.

80 years ago this week, the Jasenovac extermination camp in Croatia was liquidated after a revolt by remaining prisoners.
Run by the Ustaše regime, it claimed over 77,000 lives—mostly Serbs, Jews, Roma, and others.
Few survived, but their resistance is never forgotten.
