AJC is appalled by a Russian Orthodox Church bishop’s assertion in Moscow that Jews were responsible for the deaths of Czar Nicholas II and his family in 1918, a year after the Bolshevik Revolution.
An AJC delegation just concluded a two-day trip to Poland, highlighted by hour-long meetings with both President Andrzej Duda and Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.
The delegation, led by AJC CEO David Harris, met with Chancellor Sebastian Kurz; Chairs of the parliamentary groups for the liberal NEOS, center-right ÖVP, and center-left SPÖ; Israeli Ambassador Talya Lador-Fresher; and Chargés d’Affaires of the U.S. Embassy Eugene Young.
