France: Demanding Justice for Anti-Semitic Attacks, Taking a Stand at UNESCO
In the last few weeks in France the Simon Wiesenthal Center has become alarmed over disturbing incidents in the Jewish community:
Elan Carr has been a long-time communal and political activist in the Jewish
community. He has always been an outspoken defender ofIsrael and the Jewish people. Mr. Carr brings to the Special Envoy position, boundless energy and a keen legal eye. He will need these skills, as mainstream anti-Semitism permeates many countriesacross Europe, the Middle East and beyond. The Simon Wiesenthal Center eagerly looks forward to working closely with the new Special Envoy.
