Simon Wiesenthal Center Urges Swedish Government to Finance Security of Jewish Community
'Jew Tax' is Morally Unacceptable
“On the eve of the Passover holiday, where Jews around the world celebrate
the festival when the ancient Israelites broke the shackles of tyranny, the Jewish
community of Kansas City was struck by a tyrant,” said RabbiMarvin Hier, Founder and Dean of the Simon Wiesenthal Center.
“While it may be telling that the suspected shooter yelled “Heil Hitler” as he was beingarrested, we will await the final conclusions of the ongoing investigation,” Hier continued.
“The Simon Wiesenthal Center expresses profound sympathy to families of the three victims,” heconcluded.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center is one of the largest international Jewish human rightsorganizations with over 400,000 member families in the United States. It is an NGO at international agencies including the United Nations, UNESCO, the OSCE, the OAS, the Council of Europe and theLatin American Parliament (Parlatino).
