BERLIN (AP) — Several Holocaust survivors are marking the third day of Hanukkah together with a virtual ceremony.
Their observance comes as Jews worldwide worry about a sharp increase in antisemitism in Europe, the U.S. and elsewhere.
Several survivors also gathered in-person Tuesday for a menorah lighting at Jerusalem’s Western Wall to pay tribute to the 6 million European Jews killed by the Nazis.
Both events are organized by the New York-based Claims Conference.
The virtual event includes messages of hope from Holocaust survivors recently evacuated from the war in Ukraine.
Jewish celebrities like singer Barbra Streisand; Israeli President Isaac Herzog and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz will also participate.
