Anti-Jewish hate and violence long a scourge of Europe is once again on the increase, as the coronavirus pandemic continues to take a bruising toll on economies from Belgium to Bulgaria.
Yet in the wake of neo-Nazi conspiracy theories and online Holocaust denial, Germany has a special responsibility to stem this rising tide of hatred, argues Emily Haber, the country’s ambassador to the United States.
Haber, who assumed her post in June 2018, spoke during an April 12 webinar hosted by Michael Brenner, director of American University’s Center for Israel Studies. Among other things, Brenner is a professor of Jewish history at Munich’s Ludwig-Maximilians University and international president of the Leo Baeck Institute for the Study of German-Jewish History.
