We (AJC) brought Dr.Mohammed Al Issa the SG of the Muslim World League from Mecca and his delegation of Muslim leaders to visit Auschwitz on its 75th liberation anniversary where they paid tribute to the victims, prayed, and pledged themselves to combat Antisemitism, Holocaust denial, and all forms of hatred.
Tomorrow we are holding a memorial service in Warsaw and celebrating Shabbat dinner together tomorrow night.
