ARE JEWISH PEOPLE SAFE IN EUROPE TODAY?
Today, 27 world leaders - a king and a queen, presidents and prime ministers - will gather in Poland to mark the 60th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz death camp, where the Nazi regime murdered one million people, mostly Jews, during World War II. But as the world focuses on the past, many European Jews fear - to quote Sammy Ghozlan, a retired Calais police chief who now investigates anti-Semitic crimes - that "after decades of peace, the old taboos against anti-Semitism are broken. There is no future here for a Jew." Ghozlan, who grew up in the Paris suburbs and founded an organization to track anti-Semitic attacks, traces it to the start of the Palestinian uprising, or intifadah, against Israel more than four years ago. He also thinks a contributing factor is demographic: Arab immigrants now are 10 percent of France's population. (Source: Europe's Jews fear for their future by By Matthew Schofield)

SIND JÜDISCHE MENSCHEN HEUTE IN EUROPA SICHER?
Heute werden sich in Polen 27 Weltoberhäupter - ein König und eine Königin, Präsidenten und Premierminister - versammeln, um den 60. Geburtstag der Befreiung des Auschwitzer Todeslagers zu begehen, wo das Naziregime während des zweiten Weltkrieges eine Million Menschen ermordet hat, größtenteils Juden. Aber während die Welt sich auf die Vergangenheit konzentriert, fürchten sich viele europäische Juden - um Sammy Ghozlan zu zitieren, einen pensionierten Calais-Polizeichef, der jetzt judenfeindliche Verbrechen untersucht - daß "nach Jahrzehnten des Friedens, die alten Tabus gegen Judenfeindlichkeit gebrochen sind. Es gibt hier für einen Juden keine Zukunft." Ghozlan, der in den Pariser Vororten aufwuchs und eine Organisation gründete, die judenfeinliche Angriffe ausfindig machen soll, führt dies auf den Beginn des palästinensischen Aufstandes, oder Intifadah, gegen Israel vor über vier Jahren, zurück. Er denkt auch, daß ein mitwirkender Faktor demografisch ist: Arabische Immigranten machen mittlerweile 10 Prozent der französischen Bevölkerung aus.

Over the years my opinions have changed but this will never change: Jesus Christ, Lord, God and Savior, died on the cross and rose from the dead to pay for my sin.

Auschwitz survivor says, Get tough with neo-Nazis
27 January 2005
BERLIN - A survivor of Auschwitz and six other Nazi concentration camps, historian Arno Lustiger, urged Germany's parliament on Thursday to get tough with the country's resurgent neo- Nazi movement. Lustiger, in a keynote speech in the German parliament marking the 60th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation, said that when he helped rebuild Germany's Jewish community 50 years ago "I would never have dreamed that 50 years later they would still need police protection."
