President Reuven Rivlin delivered a speech at the opening ceremony for Holocaust Remembrance Day.
Europe today, like parts of the whole world, is changing its face again, Europe today, is haunted by the ghosts of the past, perceptions of superiority, nationalistic purity, xenophobia, blatant and murky anti-Semitism hovers across Europe. "
"It is important to clarify: We are not in the thirties, we are not on the verge of a second holocaust, or anything approaching it, but we can not ignore the old-new anti-Semitism that has returned, fueled by waves of immigration, economic crises, and disappointment with the political establishment," Rivlin said.
