Pope Francis Daily

Referring to the “barbaric resurgence of cases of anti-Semitism” in many countries today, Pope Francis firmly condemned “every form of anti-Semitism” on the eve of the commemoration of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp. “I will never grow tired of condemning every form of anti-Semitism,” he stated.

His remarks came on Jan. 20 during an address to a delegation from the Simon Wiesenthal Center in the Vatican. The center, established in 1977 by Rabbi Marvin Hier, is today is “a global human rights organization researching the Holocaust and hate in a historic and contemporary context.”
