The St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum strongly condemns the antisemitic attacks in Amsterdam following the Europa League match between Ajax and Maccabi Tel Aviv. Reports indicate that young people, incited by calls on social media, attacked Israeli fans in violent acts targeting Jewish individuals. This disturbing escalation left multiple people injured and traumatized, underscoring the harsh reality of rising antisemitism across the globe.
As a Museum dedicated to Holocaust remembrance and combating hate, we stand in solidarity with Amsterdam’s Jewish community and all those affected by these attacks. History reminds us of the grave consequences of unchecked hate and intolerance. Now more than ever, we are called to confront this tide of rising violence, which is fueled by misinformation, scapegoating, and intolerance.
We join global voices in condemning these attacks, and we urge our community to remain vigilant, engaged, and united against antisemitism and all forms of hate. The St. Louis Kaplan Feldman Holocaust Museum remains committed to fostering a world rooted in understanding, dignity, and respect, and we invite our community to join us in building a future free from hatred.
