This week, Holocaust history came under assault as
opponents to vaccine passports compared them to the Nazis'
persecution of Jews and Poland was falsely maligned for the German
Nazis' murder of three million Polish Jews. But American Jewish
Committee (AJC) also celebrated a historic step toward peace as
Bahrain opened its diplomatic mission in Israel.

Vaccine Passports Compared to Holocaust's Yellow Stars of David

[link removed]

JTA | 3-minute read

Some American politicians and activists are making
the gross analogy that a proposed vaccine passport is similar to the
Nazis' persecution of Europe's Jews. READ MORE

AJC responds: "Disagreeing with policies
is acceptable. Using offensive Holocaust imagery to push a political
agenda is not. There's no comparison between COVID-19 vaccination
passports and the persecution of Jews in Nazi Germany. Period."

Spot Them?

Chicago Tribune | 5-minute read

In this column for the Chicago Tribune, AJC's
Manya Brachear Pashman urges everyone to read AJC's Translate
Hate, a glossary of antisemitic terms and modern-day examples.
"Antisemitism mutates," she wrote, "making it next
to impossible for lexicographers to keep up and for governments to
recognize its many variants."

Auschwitz Museum Says Damage Done by The New Yorker
Article

The Washington Post | 4-minute read

The New Yorker amended the specious subtitle of an article examining
Holocaust scholarship in Poland this week after AJC CEO David Harris
said it created a false impression about the Polish role in the
Holocaust. "There are other serious issues with the article in
the same vein," he said, "but this change is a step in the
right direction." READ MORE

AJC CEO David Harris tweeted: "Why The New Yorker chose to
publish an incendiary, one-sided assault on Poland implying it, not
Germany, was primarily responsible for murder of 3 million Jews - is
beyond me."

AJC's Shabbat Table

[link removed]

This week, in AJC's Shabbat Table, we consider
how the bravery that led Nachshon ben Aminadav to wade into the Red
Sea, bringing about God's parting of the waters, can inspire
today's activists. We also remember the Jewish American patriot
Haym Salomon who helped finance the American revolution against
England.
