Holocaust Educational Trust's response to today’s CST report.
Today's report from the Community Security Trust highlights the alarming levels of antisemitism that continue to persist across our society in the wake of the terrorist attacks in Israel on 7 October 2023.
A significant 75% increase in incidents where the Holocaust the state-sponsored murder of six million Jewish men, women and children is celebrated, its architects glorified, or calls are made for its atrocities to be repeated stands out as a deeply troubling statistic.
At the Holocaust Educational Trust, we are committed to redoubling our efforts to ensure that young people from all backgrounds learn about the Holocaust and the anti-Jewish hatred that led to it. There must be zero tolerance for antisemitism in all parts of our society.
The work of the Community Security Trust has never been more vital, and we stand with them in the fight against antisemitism.
