JUSTICE AND CONSUMERS - STATEMENT by President von der Leyen ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day

On 27 January, we mark the 76th anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau and remember the millions of Jewish women, men and children as well as all other victims, among them hundreds of thousands of Roma and Sinti, murdered during the Holocaust.

Antisemitism led to the Holocaust but, sadly, it did not end with the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps.

I am worried to see more hatred towards Jews again, in Europe and beyond. The times of the pandemic have fuelled a rise of conspiracy theories and disinformation, often promoting antisemitic narratives. We see a worrying rise of Holocaust distortion and denial.

We must never forget.
