Holocaust remembrance critical to confront a lingering hatred

Canadian hate crime statistics show that Jews have remained the most targeted group of faith-based hate crimes for more than a decade. In the United States Jews accounted for close to 60 per cent of all religious-based hate crime in 2014, while studies show European Jews, targeted by rising antisemitic hatred, are emigrating in unprecedented numbers.

International Holocaust Remembrance Day takes place on January 27, the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
