WJC head: Polish leaders should clearly condemn anti-Semitism
Poland's religious and political leaders should unequivocally condemn antisemitic behaviour following a number of troubling events in the country, the head of the World Jewish Congress wrote on Wednesday.
Ronald S. Lauder criticised "the sight of protesters on the streets of Warsaw chanting anti-Jewish and anti-American slogans", and the burning of an effigy of Judas in the Polish town of Pruchnik in April.
"We can't allow for the ghosts of the past to rise again and to lead to the destruction of that which our nations have built over years," he wrote in an op-ed published in Polish daily Rzeczpospolita.
