## Concerns Echoed at Auschwitz Commemoration: “Hatred is Spreading at a speed Goebbels Could Only Dream Of”
“Anti-immigration sentiment and xenophobia are seeping into the political mainstream. Hatred is spreading online at a speed that joseph Goebbels could only have dreamed of.”
In a speech at the Auschwitz commemoration, Linda Clewits, chairman of the Dutch Auschwitz Committee, drew parallels between the past and present. “Agreements that were supposed to keep the world safe appear to be vulnerable. It truly seems to only be about the law of the strongest, undermining the international legal order and eroding institutions.”
Clewits quoted documentary maker Dror Moreh, director of *The Gatekeepers*, stating: “Anti-immigration sentiment and xenophobia are seeping into the political mainstream. Hatred is spreading online at a speed that Joseph Goebbels could only have dreamed of.”
Mayor Halsema,in her speech,focused on the impact of conflict on children,noting that over 80 years after the war,children continue to be killed,kidnapped,and exploited in conflicts.
