Macron issues call to fight anti-Semitism on Auschwitz anniversary

French President Emmanuel Macron called for the fight against anti-Semitism to continue during a visit to the Holocaust Memorial in Paris on the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

“We will not give in to anti-Semitism in all its forms,” Macron wrote in the guest book, before leaving to attend a large commemoration event at the former Nazi death camp of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

“Let us never forget the millions of victims of the Shoah,” Macron said. “Let us fight tirelessly against anti-Semitism and hatred in the name of all those who perished. Let us be the memory of their memory,” he said.
