Official of Simon Wiesental’s Center Condemns Open Distribution of Anti-Semitic Literature in Belarus

Wiesenthal Centre's Director for International Affairs, Dr Shimon Samuels, has addressed Aliaksandr Lukashenka with an open letter to express his indignation at the fact of free distribution of anti-Semitic editions in Belarus.

Recently Mr. Samuels has visited the Museum of World War II in Minsk and was shocked at seeing anti-Semitic books in a kiosk close to this place. He even enumerated these books in his letter and demanded from Lukashenka to ‘officially condemn anti-Semitism and ensure that on from sale the printed materials that defile the memory of Jews and Belarusians who fell victims to World War II are withdrawn from sale’.
