Dozens of UN ambassadors from around the world, led by Israel's Ambassador to the UN Dani Dayan, toured the Auschwitz-Birkenau extermination camp in Poland on Tuesday. For the first time this year, the German Ambassador to the UN also joined the tour. The visit was part of an initiative by the "Task Force to Combat Antisemitism," established by Dayan to fight hatred of Jews within UN institutions and on the international stage. During the tour, Ambassador Dayan emphasized the importance of historical memory in combating direct and modern antisemitism. He sharply criticized the international community's disregard for the Iranian regime's calls for Israel's destruction, warning against hypocrisy from international bodies. "One cannot fight today's antisemitism without understanding its historical significance," Dayan stated on the camp grounds. He added that the international community cannot be content with saying 'never again' while simultaneously granting legitimacy at the UN to inciters and murderers.
