Europe’s Holocaust remembrance events and memorials ring hollow, desperate really, in light of the rampant violent antisemitism forcing a max exodus of Jews from the continent. The Holocaust, while it was a German initiative, was carried out by every nation in Europe, save for the Danes. There were Dutch Nazis, Polish Nazis — Europe as a continent decided rid itself of its Jews. Holland, for example, had the highest rate of collaboration with the Nazis, 95% of Dutch Jews were murdered.
The lesson Europe should have taken away from the Holocaust but didn’t was that they were evil and they have to be good. And that is the lesson they did not learn. They are still unable and willing to make moral distinctions and stand up for the good and fight evil.
But it’s not just Europe. Look at how the left has partnered with Muslim antisemites here in the US to norm genocidal Jew-hatred.
I am sick and tired of the fetishism of dead Jews and the endless memorials to Holocaust victims while the international community dehumanizes and delegitimizes the Jewish people and their state, the same dehumanization that preceded the Holocaust. Muslim Islamic antisemitism is driving the worldwide rise in Jew-hatred.
And here we are 60 years later and Europe and the left in America is importing an army of these Jew haters.
Anti-Israel Campus Groups Plot to Defame Jewish State Ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day
Anti-Semitism in Germany mars International Holocaust Remembrance Day
Video Canary Mission
Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) members have mocked the Holocaust for years. Their shocking anti-Semitism includes Holocaust denial, praising Hitler, laughing at the genocide of 6 million Jews in Nazi concentration camps, and calling for the murder of Jews.
This Holocaust Remembrance Day, DO NOT REMAIN SILENT in the face of hatred. Join the fight against anti-Semitism and share this video:
#EndTheHatred #WeRemember #SJPholocaustKnesset Speaker Yuli Edelstein slammed the Europeans’ duplicity, claiming to fight anti-Semitism while assailing Israel and embracing its enemies.
Europe’s ‘contradictory messages’ on anti-Semitism
During a special ceremony held at the European Parliament in Brussels to mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day on Wednesday, Edelstein listed anti-Semitic incidents that took place in Europe during the last year, including Jews in Bochum, Germany hiding their identities for fear of attack, a synagogue firebombing in Gothenburg, Sweden, and calls of “death to the Jews” in Vienna, London, and Berlin rallies.
”What have we learned?” Edelstein asked.
Since the Holocaust, much has been done across Europe to acknowledge “the painful truth” of the Holocaust, Edelstein noted. “Politicians, media outlets, academics, and engaged citizens have stood up to combat anti-Semitic rhetoric and acts,” he said.
“Yet, for all the work that has been done, I fear that the post-war sense of mission has faded, leaving the real issues unaddressed,” he underscored.
“What has been learned from all the [Holocaust] memorials if synagogues across Europe need round-the-clock protection? Is Holocaust education effective if Jews on this continent don’t wear a kippah or a Star of David necklace for fear of attack?” he stated.
He called on Europe to take proper action, beyond the “words, resolutions and good intentions.”
“The efforts to combat anti-Semitism and to protect the Jews of Europe are sincerely appreciated, but what is the message when elected officials march with the Jewish community one day and against Israel the next?” he wondered. “When leaders embrace the local rabbi in solidarity after a hate crime and treat Hamas as a legitimate voice? When an attack is condemned as anti-Semitic and then Israel is denounced for fabricated war crimes?”
“These contradictory messages do not build trust. Instead, they prevent us from meeting our joint obligations,” he stated.
All anti-Semitism is wrongIn a similar vein, he criticized a European delegation that recently visited Iran.
“No one mentioned Holocaust denial that has become a regular occurrence for the Iranian regime. I am sure no one protested the cartoon contest that ridiculed the Holocaust using the oldest and worst anti-Semitic stereotypes,” he said, holding the cartoon that won first prize, which suggests that the Jewish people exploit the Holocaust for financial gain at the world’s expense.
“For ‘Never Again’ to really mean ‘never again,’ consistent and sincere actions are necessary,” Edelstein said. “Antisemitism – wherever it rears its ugly head, for whatever reason, is wrong and must be fought at every turn. Writing off such acts as ‘mere opposition to Israel’ is absurd.”
“Antisemitism has no excuse – not religion, not poverty, not lack of education, and not political disagreements,” he cautioned, while warning that “today we know that we ignore hatred and intolerance at our peril.”
He also called on European countries to follow the US in recognizing Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, “acknowledging both our ancient heritage and our modern history.”
“This parliament is an inspiration to Europe and the world. Use your standing to realize the values on which this institution was founded,” he concluded.

We partnered with Stalin to defeat Nazism. Within a few years, Stalin launched a truly vicious antisemitic campaign (the ‘doctor’s plot’) but he fortunately died before bringing it to full fruition. From the days of Voltaire the European progressives have nurtured a virulent strain of Jew hatred.
It is so rare that people realize that Stalin was an antisemite. He was also worse than Hitler.
True. But while mentioning the evil of Hitler and the Nazis, almost no one includes a reference of good old Uncle Joe in such discussions. The Left has always admired Marxism at all levels, so when it comes to Marxist genocide, no mention is made of Stalin, Beria, Vyshinsky or others, since the Left admires these beasts.
The left is becoming “these” beasts.
American brainwashed leftist definitely have no clue about these famous Soviet monsters. Maybe some really educated people know. Not those marching against Donald Trump pussy hat cretins.
Solzhenitsyn wasted no time revealing the nature of these monsters in “Gulag Archipelago”.
Yes it’s correct. But in fact he was well known antisemite himself. Ironic like the whole our life.
Possibly he was since there were a few Jews who supported Bolshevism, such as Trotsky.
There were quite a few Jews making damn “Revolution” coup in October 1917. Probably about 80% of the whole commies at first. Lenin himself had some Jewish blood. His grandfather was a Jew. When after they helped to do their job, Stalin exterminated them all. The most of the Soviet top military commanders, scientists, top mangers, even many of them were in NKVD (the shame of the nation) If you by the chance are from Russia, you obviously aware of it. (Sorry if I’m wrong. I think so, because you know so many nuances about Russian history)
Russian Jews accepted the socialist ideas because they always were badly abused in Russia, Ukraine, Belorussian, Moldova and all the territories of the Russian Empire. The level of the antisemitism in Russian Empire was close to Nazi Germany. Jews were not allowed even to live in the big cities. Only in the small schtettles. Bloody pogroms were normal business as usual all over Russian Empire. Especially in Ukraine. Jews were not allowed to study in Universities, and to be any kind of professionals like doctors, lawyers, etc. Czarist’s government even steel the little boys from their parents, and make them kantonists – they raised them in the cruel horrible conditions to be in military for 25 yrs! Lenin and his cabal promised to change the horrible life of the Jews under the czarist’s regime. It was only reason for them to support communists. It’s just a brief explanation for the whole bloody nightmare of the 100 yrs of the Soviet power.
Just a few nuances, but your fine summary rounds things out – thanks.
Regarding the military, Stalin was kind to officers who were cavalry such as Budenny, Voroshilov and Timoshenko, who achieved high rank prior to 1941. Other non-cavalry officers fared not as well, such as Rokossovsky, who was tortured in the late 1930’s, but when Uncle Joe started running out of competent general leadership after Barbarossa in 1941 recalled him, where he was critical to Soviet victories including Stalingrad. Rokossovsky, who was actually Polish, retired a Marshal and with high honors.
Leon Trotsky (Bronstain) was a founder of the “Red Terror”. He was covered with the blood of the millions of the Soviet people. He finally run to Mexico,where Stalin’s hit-man killed him with a ice breaker in 1940. Rot in hell
I wonder if there is some North Korean Solzhenitsyn.
There would be some amazing testimonies for sure!
Stalin and Hitler together STARTED WWII as they agreed to chop up Poland.
Not only Poland. Czechoslovakia (Former) was chopped as well for 3 parts.
no one was worse than the germans. they used technology and automation to murder Jews. and they had an agenda to kill Jews worldwide. no one was worse. and i am very pleased at their present condition. karma, she is such a bitch. so long, berlin.
Most Germans today had nothing to do with the holocaust. Descendents should not be punished for their parent’s crimes especially since there was already a de-nazification process. It also does not change the fact that Stalin killed more people and had his own plot to remove Jews from the Soviet Union.
Tell Your story to karma, JGray1 had nothing to do with Germany’s downfall
I was pointing out a simple fact.
Seems like the intolerant islamists feel much the same way You do
‘let’s not talk about it, that might upset the poor snowflakes’
While in fact just the opposite of what You wish is the correct action;
“Tell the whole world so everyone knows not to experience this again”
or once enough ignorant folks learn, Never Forget might take on it’s intended meaning again, as it should
Read the World History first. Especially Holocaust.Nazi had a great help for the silent majority of their own population to exterminate their own Jews, and later- European Jews. Europe desired to get rid of their Jews and their silent ( and loud) majority helped Hitler in his “Final solution”.
Shame on Churchill, Roosevelt who turned the boats with Jewish refugees coming to USA and UK from the concentration camps (“St. Louis”) and send them back to gestapo, back to the concentration camps. These innocent people, Nazi’s victims were REAL REFUGEES. Not the subhuman they invite and feed today.
Don’t forget – Germany started and lost 2 World Wars.
Millions of murdered, raped, burned, killed in a gas chambers.
Yes! Germany well deserves it’s Karma.
I’ve emigrated from the former Soviet Union 31 yrs ago (legally). What do I have to do with Stalin’s crimes? This evil persecuted and murdered his own people by millions. Not only Jews. He was paranoid schizophrenic and was afraid of the plot.
Nazis didn’t kill their own people. Only Jews, just because they were Jews.
Hope you realize the difference.
Bravo! I wish I can shake your hand. Many of my family members were murdered in Holocaust in the occupied territories of Ukraine and Russia.
Stalin wanted to send all Soviet Jews to Siberia in the trains which were used for the cattle. Nazi style. The famous “Doctor’s Trial” in 1952-53 which was an absolutely criminally insane and ridiculous, helped him to exterminate the best doctors of the Soviet Union. Stalin created this “Dreyfus Trial” style antisemitic campaign as a trigger to deport all the Jews to Siberia. It was literally Divine power which saved Soviet Jews when this monster dropped dead. B”H”
There is no hypocrite like a western european hypocrite, they know better, despite that, they act like fools. According to western europeans, it is easier to feign regret and sorrow over the fate of those long dead, rather than pay any attention to the living. Western europe deserves the curse of islam, who also hate Jews, but in their case it is because they are far to stupid to know better.
Good point about not learning from the Holocaust. If that wouldn’t wake them up, what would?
Agreed. It really makes you wonder. How many of the various anti-Jewish element actually realize the memorial at the site of the Auschwitz death camp, including those iconic front gates, was preserved as a lesson from history and not for the glorification of the place?
Despite the high level of Dutch collaboration, the Dutch were deliberately starved by the Nazis. Collaboration gives nothing, not even the minor luxury of suffering last. That should be a lesson when dealing with the coming Caliphate but it will not.
Certainly not the way it is going presently.
What happened to the website? I can still see it through disqus but I cannot load the main website. It just says 404 not found.
I was locked out for … not quite, but almost, two days.
I had the same problem Saturday.
Shame on the Dutch. But a Dutch Jew showed one of the most poignant aspects of World War II. Anne Frank’s diary.
So the Danes never had Dane Nazi’s, eh? Gonna be extra nice to the next Dane I meet. 😉
Let Israel fight back, ZERO concessions to the PA. Keep them out of Jerusalem and wipe them out the next time they attack Israel with so much as a spit ball.
Europeans feel smug when they condemn Hitlerian Nazism of European origin but welcome in IslamoNazism which is not only anti-Semitic, it’s anti-Christian, anti-infidel, anti-West—because that’s “multiculturalism.” They learned NOTHING from the Holocaust.
Islam is a “killing machine:” https://themuslimissue.wordpress.com/2015/06/15/muslims-have-killed-over-590-million-non-muslims-since-the-birth-of-mohammed/
In supporting the Muslims, most of Europe have turned their backs on the Jews.
Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
“They are still unable and willing to make moral distinctions and stand up for the good and fight evil.” I think you meant “unwilling.” Also; “And here we are 60 years later and Europe and the left in America is importing an army of these Jew haters.” It’s actually been 73 years since the end of WW II in 1945. If you meant since something else, then, you must tell us. Thanks. (It’s the editor in me. LOL) All and all GREAT article. It expresses my observations and concerns exactly.
