International Holocaust Remembrance Day - Together we stand. Together We Remember.

As Holocaust Survivor Elie Wiesel said “For the dead and the living, we must bear witness”.

Today, on International Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz, we honor the memory of the six million Jewish lives brutally murdered by the Nazis and the resilience of the survivors who ensure the Holocaust is never forgotten.

Today, the SAJBD’s national Chairperson Prof Karen Milner and Vice President Mary Kluk stood with Holocaust survivor Ruth Cohen at the entrance to Auschwitz Birkeneau as she returned to the concentration camp 80 years later.

Together we stand. Together We Remember.

​The SAJBD notes a rant by Mehmet Dag

The SAJBD notes a rant by Mehmet Dag, identifying SA Jewish leadership by name and calling for them to be arrested and our Jewish organisations to be shut down.

We recognise this for what it is; yet another desperate attention seeking exercise by Dag. Dag has devoted his time to spewing hate against various groups of South Africans.

He has numerous legal charges against him, both by Jewish and other SA organisations, and individuals.

We trust that these matters will appear shortly in the courts and Mr Dag will face justice.
