Douglas Emhoff, the husband of the US Vice President, Kamala Harris, announced this Thursday a contribution of 2,2 million dollars from his country to UNESCO for its action in education to raise awareness of the Holocaust and fight against anti-Semitism.

"UNESCO has a vital role in ensuring that Holocaust education is taught and used to combat anti-Semitism around the world"Emhoff said at the organization's headquarters in Paris, during a round table organized to discuss this issue.

He was convinced that «Holocaust education improves understanding of the dangerous consequences of hate», after emphasizing that "this work has never been more urgent" after the "horrific terrorist attack by Hamas against Israel" on October 7.

One event that - he noted - has given rise to "a crisis of antisemitism throughout the world" and that it has reached "everywhere, on our streets, in places of worship, on university campuses, in markets and on the internet."

Emhoff, who recalled that he himself is Jewish, He referred to the importance of teaching about the Holocaust to include the story of personal experiences., which help convey the message about the importance of fighting anti-Semitism.

The vice president's husband is in Paris to participate next Sunday representing the United States in the closing ceremony of the Olympic Games, which takes over with a view to those to be held in Los Angeles in 2028.

The director general of UNESCO, the French Audrey Azoulay, reaffirmed her organization's commitment to the fight against anti-Semitism.

In his opinion, this action is even more necessary after the "wave of anti-Semitism" that has spread "since the terrorist attacks of October 7."

"There is a remedy," he stated, "for hate speech wherever it comes from: education."

The director general said that the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization is increasing its efforts to train teachers "because they can build defenses against anti-Semitism", establishing "critical thinking in the new generations."

He indicated that 1.300 teachers have been trained in the United States and that this is also being done in Europe, that there are programs on the history of the Holocaust and other genocides in 24 countries and that methods are being adapted to combat denial or distortion of those facts online.

Thus, UNESCO launched an initiative two years ago with the Meta platforms and with TikTok so that users searching for information on this matter are redirected to a web page that has verified content, created in collaboration with the World Jewish Congress.

  1. The fact that anti-Semitism has reached university campuses and other places is the result of the efforts of China, Iran, the Mohammedan countries and other enemies of the USA and Israel. Something that has been allowed by ignoring that these countries are invading the United States to destroy it from within. Thus they would negatively affect Israel on all fronts.

    According to this video, it is said that it is very possible that Biden has already passed away, it means that someone is usurping the position of president.

    But the serious thing is that the usurper is emptying the coffers of the nation of the USA... which could be the reason for the fall of the dollar...

    The US Congress must verify if Biden is still alive.

    The Jesuits who accompany Biden in the White House may be looting the coffers of the USA. ..

    HOLES…..

    May God bless, protect, strengthen and give wisdom to Israel and Mexico always….!!!
