Despite 75 years of liberation from the Nazi death camp, anti-Semitic violence and discrimination persists in the world. As International Holocaust Remembrance Day commemorates, modern efforts in human rights and hate crime laws have sought to combat anti-Semitism alongside other forms of discrimination, although it remains a widespread problem, with experts identifying a sharp rise in anti-Semitic acts in the early 21st century.
Acts of violence and discrimination against the Jewish population affect their right to freedom of religion or belief. Violence and discrimination against Jews is manifested in attacks on synagogues and schools and in the desecration of cemeteries. In New York City, in December 2019, eight anti-Semitic attacks were recorded on the eve of Hanukkah.
Anti-Semitism is based on arguments ranging from the collective indictment of the Jews for the murder of Jesus to being considered a inferior race that must be excluded from human civilization.
