Jerusalem correspondent - 10 hours, Monday, May 2, Israelis, disrupting their business, were frozen for two minutes of silence, the sirens have sounded throughout the country. The script is easy to write as it is immutable: the day of Holocaust remembrance, the whole country salutes the memory of six million Jews who perished during the Holocaust.
This year more than previous ones, the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wants to encourage Israelis to learn from this painful past to ward off the challenges ahead, as it deems threatening, especially in a destabilized Middle East. "The lessons of the Holocaust have not been learned.
The hatred of Jews still sweeping the world. Semitism is renewed and amplified, and hatred of Jews is now their state and its right to exist" , has hammered Mr. Netanyahu, by establishing a parallel between the genocide of the Jews, Iran and its allies, Hezbollah and Hamas ... When a representative of the Israeli government refers to the Holocaust, we must share the emotion and political design, which aims to galvanize nationalist sentiment.
It is also necessary that argument, particularly in relation to a rising anti-Semitism, is based on facts. However, as the annual report of the Centre for Research on Antisemitism at the University of Tel Aviv on Sunday May 1, the number of antisemitic attacks worldwide increased from 1,129 in 2009 to 614 in 2010, a decrease of 46%.
These statistics do not encourage Israeli leaders to lower their guard: the Jewish state has never so felt the need to maintain the memory of the Holocaust to younger generations. Yad Vashem, the Holocaust museum in Jerusalem, has launched a campaign entitled "Fragments of memory: the faces behind the documents, objects and pictures," to encourage the Israelis to send all the memories they have, so that future generations do not lose the memory of the genocide of Jews.
This concern is partly due to the slow disappearance of the survivors of the extermination camps: they are more than 204,000 in 2011, and will be 48 000 in 2025. If Israel maintains the cult of the Holocaust, it does not always show in practical terms: almost half of the survivors do not receive social assistance to which they are entitled, which translates into a continued loss.
33% of them are considered poor, a proportion that is increasing every year. Laurent Zecchini
