Highlights of the 5th World Holocaust Forum, Marking 75 Years Since the Liberation of Auschwitz

Heads of State from Europe, North America and Australia converged at Yad Vashem, the World Holocaust Remembrance Center, for the Fifth World Holocaust Forum, which took place on 23 January 2020. The event, entitled “Remembering the Holocaust: Fighting Antisemitism,” was organized by the World Holocaust Forum Foundation, headed by Dr. Moshe Kantor, in cooperation with Yad Vashem, under the auspices of the President of the State of Israel, H.E. Mr. Reuven “Ruvi“ Rivlin. As the world marks the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the message is clear – antisemitism has no place in our global society. This historic event took place against the background of the rise in hateful and violent expressions of antisemitism, especially in Europe. Given this alarming situation, efforts to educate about the dangers of antisemitism, racism and xenophobia and foster Holocaust commemoration, education and research have made this event more crucial and relevant than ever.
