NEWSBRIEFS German Auction House Under Fire Again for
Selling Hitler Manuscripts
A MUNICH, GERMANY, auction house that was
widely condemned last year for selling Nazi memora-
bilia is being criticized again — this time for selling
Adolf Hitler-penned manuscripts, JTA reported.

The European Jewish Association criticized
Hermann Historica on Oct. 20 for the manuscripts
it is selling, many of which are notes written before
infamous speeches Hitler made in the 1930s.

“It defies logic, decency and humanity for the very
same auction house that came under fire less than a
year ago for selling disgusting lots of Nazi memora-
bilia that they should do so again,” Rabbi Menachem
Margolin, head of the Brussels-based association,
said in a statement. “I cannot get my head around the
sheer irresponsibility and insensitivity.”
In November, Hermann Historica auctioned 10 items
that belonged to Hitler and other Nazi memorabilia,
including a silver-plated copy of “Mein Kampf” that
once belonged to senior Nazi Hermann Goering. A
Lebanese-Swiss businessman bought the items and then
donated them to Keren Hayesod-United Israel Appeal.

as it was 1,000 years ago and continues to decline,
according to a study published Oct. 21 by the London-
based Institute for Jewish Policy Research, JTA reported.

The study said there were 1.3 million people who
describe themselves as Jewish in continental Europe,
the United Kingdom, Turkey and Russia.

That’s a decline of nearly 60% since 1970, when
there were 3.2 million Jews, report authors Daniel
Staetsky and Sergio DellaPergola wrote.

“The proportion of Jews residing in Europe is about
the same as it was at the time of the first Jewish global
population account conducted by Benjamin of Tudela, a
Jewish medieval traveler, in 1170,” they wrote.

Aside from the deaths of about 6 million European
Jews in the Holocaust, the decline is mostly tied to the
emigration of more than 1.5 million people following
the collapse of the Iron Curtain. But Western Europe
also has lost 8.5% of its Jewish population since 1970.

Ukraine, for 25 years. He obtained citizenship in 1960.

Lower courts have stripped Oberlander of his
citizenship four times, but appeals led to reversals. In
December, the country’s Supreme Court rejected his
latest appeal.

“Canada cannot continue to allow a mockery to
be made of its processes,” B’nai Brith Canada CEO
Michael Mostyn said in a statement. “Oberlander has
had his day in court, and he lost. To not remove him
now would be a punch in the gut to every Holocaust
survivor in this country.”
Social Media Platforms to Expand Range of
Hate Content Bans
Video platform TikTok announced Oct. 21 that it
was expanding the range of hate content it will ban,
following the lead of Twitter, Facebook and YouTube,
JTA reported.
