AUSCHWITZ: A Holocaust survivor from Canada has warned about growing antisemitism in his country, calling on the nation’s leaders to take action against perpetrators.
Nate Leipciger spoke at the annual March of the Living at Auschwitz in Poland on Tuesday as thousands gathered to commemorate those killed in the Holocaust against a backdrop of growing antisemitism in the world.
The 98-year-old said he was recently targeted in Toronto when mezuzahs (sacred parchment scrolls) were forcibly removed from apartment doors in his building.
The violence increased in March when his synagogue was also targeted in a drive-by shooting. «The front doors and lobby were destroyed. It is terrible that we have lost our sense of security,» Leipciger told Fox News Digital.

Holocaust survivor Nate Leipciger, 98, who participated in the March of the Living for the 22nd time speaks at the ceremony that followed the march in Auschwitz-Birkenau on Tuesday April 14, 2026.
«Once you lose that, you no longer know when or where the next attack might occur. It is deeply troubling to live in a free, democratic country — where everyone is meant to have equal rights — and to be persecuted in this way,» he added.
Born in Poland in 1928, Leipciger was deported to Auschwitz in 1943. He survived multiple camps and a death march before being liberated in 1945, later immigrating to Canada in 1948.
The only way to prevent history from repeating itself, he said, is to advocate for the truth and confront deception and lies.

«The running is over. For centuries, we ran. We have to stand up for our right to live as Jews in any country, including Israel, as free citizens enjoying the fruits of Western culture, of which we are part,» he added.
Since the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, massacre, Canada has seen a sharp rise in antisemitism, with B’nai Brith Canada reporting 6,219 incidents in 2024 — more than double the number recorded in 2022.
While figures for 2025 have yet to be released, Public Safety Canada noted that from April to June 2025, «Among hate crimes targeting religion… the majority were directed at the Jewish community (69%).»
CANADA’S CARNEY UNDER PRESSURE TO ACT AFTER SYNAGOGUES SHOT AT IN LATEST ANTISEMITIC INCIDENTS
Canadian Jewish communities are «extremely concerned» about a surge in antisemitism, a reality conveyed by Israeli officials both privately and publicly to Prime Minister Mark Carney’s government.
«We are aware of extreme concern among Jewish communities in Canada about their safety and well-being, both as individuals and as communities, including their institutions,» Israeli Ambassador to Ottawa Ido Moed told Fox News Digital. «Israel views the recent attacks against synagogues as very serious and considers Canada among the high-risk countries in terms of shooting incidents.»

Moed said Israel has offered to expand cooperation with Canada across areas including education and security coordination, and has initiated roundtable discussions on policy, regulation and best practices.
U.S. Special Envoy to Monitor and Combat Antisemitism Yehuda Kaploun told Fox News Digital at Auschwitz that leadership accountability is critical to confronting antisemitism.
«It is incumbent upon law enforcement in various countries to designate terrorist organizations, as we have done with certain aspects of the Muslim Brotherhood and Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps. The world should do so collectively, and America is leading the way in that battle,» Kaploun said.
Earlier this month, shots were fired at a Jewish-owned restaurant in Toronto during Passover. In March, Israel’s minister of Diaspora affairs and combating antisemitism, Amichai Chikli, sent a letter urging Ottawa to increase efforts to protect Jewish communities after three synagogues in the Toronto area were hit by gunfire within just one week.

Richard Marceau, senior vice president of strategic initiatives and general counsel at the Center for Israel and Jewish Affairs, noted that Jewish Canadians are 25 times more likely than any other group to be victims of hate crimes.
«What we have seen in Canada is an all-level systemic failure to address Jew-hatred,» he told Fox News Digital.
«Confronting this crisis is essential not only to protect the Jewish community, but to safeguard the future of the Canadian way of life,» he continued. «All levels of government must do more to protect Canadians, including ensuring robust and consistent enforcement of existing laws, improving transparency in prosecutorial decisions, strengthening support – including financially – for community security, and addressing the drivers of radicalization in Canada.»
SanJaya Wijayakoon, an RCMP superintendent in Vancouver who joined a global law enforcement delegation on the March of the Living, said engagement with the Jewish community is central to policing.

«A big part of our work is to build contacts and maintain strong relationships through which we can receive information, provide advice and guidance on ensuring safety, and, if something crosses the line into criminality, investigate it fully,» he said.
«I think as the years pass, fewer and fewer people within the police understand what happened in 1945 in Europe. Being in this program and on this march allows us to return and speak to our people about what I learned and observed, and they can apply it in their day-to-day work,» he added.
Sylvan Adams, president of the World Jewish Congress Israel Region, pointed to the recent synagogue shootings in Toronto and criticized the government’s response as insufficient.
«I would like to see the prime minister properly define the problem and stop pussyfooting around, pretending radical Islam does not exist,» Adams said.

«We are under attack. Foreign actors are operating in Western countries in three areas: they are sending radical imams into mosques, they are investing massive amounts of money in educational systems and they are targeting us on social media. I find the response by Western leaders, with the exception of President Trump, to be entirely lacking,» he said.
«Everyone in the West needs to wake up. They are trying to take away our freedom. It starts with the Jews but never ends with the Jews,» he added.

El precio del petróleo se desploma tras el anuncio de acuerdo entre EEUU e Irán y el alivio en el estrecho de Ormuz
Los precios del petróleo se desplomaron y las bolsas mundiales registraron fuertes ganancias este lunes después de que Estados Unidos e Irán anunciaran un acuerdo para poner fin a la guerra que enfrentó a ambos países durante los últimos tres meses y que provocó fuertes tensiones en los mercados energéticos internacionales. La noticia también contempla la reapertura del estrecho de Ormuz, una de las rutas marítimas más importantes para el comercio mundial de crudo.
Washington y Teherán confirmaron un anuncio previo realizado por Pakistán, que actuó como mediador entre las partes. La firma oficial del acuerdo está prevista para el próximo 19 de junio en Suiza. El entendimiento pone fin a un conflicto que elevó los precios de la energía y reavivó las preocupaciones por un posible repunte de la inflación a escala global.
El estrecho de Ormuz, por donde transita aproximadamente el 20% del suministro mundial de petróleo, permanecía prácticamente cerrado desde que Teherán tomó medidas tras el inicio de las hostilidades el 28 de febrero. El conflicto comenzó después de ataques de Estados Unidos e Israel contra territorio iraní.
El presidente estadounidense, Donald Trump, anunció el acuerdo el domingo a través de las redes sociales. “El acuerdo con la República Islámica de Irán ya está completo”, escribió el mandatario al coincidir el anuncio con la celebración de su cumpleaños número 80.
Trump agregó: “Por la presente autorizo plenamente la apertura sin peajes del estrecho de Ormuz y, simultáneamente, autorizo el retiro inmediato del bloqueo naval de Estados Unidos”. Además, expresó: “Barcos del mundo, enciendan sus motores. Que fluya el petróleo”.
Por su parte, el viceministro de Relaciones Exteriores de Irán, Kazem Gharibabadi, sostuvo en una entrevista televisiva que el acuerdo supone un “fin inmediato” de la guerra. El funcionario también informó que las partes mantendrán conversaciones durante los próximos dos meses para alcanzar un “acuerdo final”.
A pesar del anuncio, el contenido específico del pacto aún no fue divulgado. El entendimiento llega después de semanas de negociaciones complejas y de reiteradas advertencias por parte de Washington sobre la posibilidad de nuevos enfrentamientos si no se alcanzaba una solución diplomática.
La reacción de los mercados fue inmediata. Los precios del petróleo registraron fuertes caídas ante la expectativa de una normalización del suministro energético mundial. El crudo estadounidense West Texas Intermediate (WTI) bajó un 5,6% y cotizó en 80,16 dólares por barril, mientras que el Brent del Mar del Norte retrocedió un 4,1% hasta los 83,77 dólares.
Ambos contratos se alejaron así de los máximos superiores a los 110 dólares alcanzados poco después del inicio de la guerra. La caída del petróleo redujo las preocupaciones sobre nuevas presiones inflacionarias que pudieran obligar a los principales bancos centrales a endurecer nuevamente sus políticas monetarias.
La semana pasada, datos sobre un aumento de los precios al consumidor en Estados Unidos durante mayo, junto con un sólido crecimiento del empleo, fortalecieron las expectativas de que la Reserva Federal pudiera elevar las tasas de interés antes de fin de año. Sin embargo, el descenso del crudo modificó parte de esas previsiones.
Las bolsas asiáticas lideraron las ganancias globales. El índice Nikkei de Tokio avanzó un 5,4% hasta los 69.593,64 puntos durante la media sesión, mientras que la plaza de Seúl también registró una subida superior al 5%, impulsada por las compañías tecnológicas y fabricantes de semiconductores.
En el resto de Asia, Shanghái ganó un 1%, Hong Kong avanzó un 0,5% y otros mercados como Sídney, Singapur, Taipéi y Wellington también cerraron en terreno positivo. En Indonesia, Yakarta subió más de un 4%, mientras que la rupia se fortaleció hasta las 17.700 unidades por dólar, su mejor nivel desde finales de mayo.
En los mercados de divisas, el euro avanzó hasta 1,1599 dólares frente a los 1,1577 del cierre del viernes. La libra esterlina también ganó terreno y se ubicó en 1,3438 dólares. Por su parte, el dólar retrocedió ligeramente frente al yen japonés.

Biden-appointed judge orders Trump to restore slavery, climate change references at national parks
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A Biden-appointed federal judge ordered the Trump administration to restore exhibits and other materials at national parks that highlighted slavery, climate change and other leftist ideology after they were removed under a directive targeting displays deemed disparaging to America.
U.S. District Judge Angel Kelley in Massachusetts, appointed to the federal bench by former President Joe Biden in 2021, issued a preliminary injunction Friday requiring the administration to reverse the changes and pause any further removals amid legal challenges.
The move comes amid the America 250 celebrations that will crescendo on July 4.
The Interior Department in a statement called Kelley a «liberal activist judge» and said it was reviewing its options to appeal its removal of what Secretary Doug Burgum rebuked as «improper partisan ideology.»

«This ruling is from a liberal activist judge,» an Interior spokesperson told Fox News Digital on Sunday. «The Department will look at our appeal options while we celebrate UFC Freedom 250 on the South Lawn of the White House this weekend in honor of our nation’s 250th with the greatest president in the history of our country – President Donald J. Trump.»
Trump’s March 27, 2025 executive order, «Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History,» sought to restore American heritage to national parks and monuments that were «changed to perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history» after the race riots of 2020 that might have ultimately helped fuel Biden’s election.
Trump ordered Interior to «take action, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law,» to ensure that all U.S. government descriptions and depictions do not «inappropriately disparage Americans past or living» – instead putting «focus on the greatness» of America.
While Kelley wrote that the plaintiffs had shown the administration’s actions were meant «to rewrite the Nation’s history with a white-out pen,» Trump said he had issued the order because of the «false reconstruction» of U.S. history under Biden, the president who appointed her.

Removing the disparagement of Americans and highlighting of U.S. greatness set a «dangerous precedent of censorship and sanitization,» according to Kelley.

The judge also ordered the administration to file weekly status reports detailing its progress in restoring the affected materials.
Among the materials Burgum’s Interior removed were an exhibit at Philadelphia’s Independence National Historical Park describing the ownership of enslaved people by George Washington, the nation’s first president, and signage detailing climate threats at Fort Sumter in South Carolina.
AMERICAN HISTORY WON’T BE DISPLAYED ‘IN A WOKE MANNER’ AT SMITHSONIAN, TRUMP SAYS
«Under the guise of promoting American dignity, this administration seeks to share a limited history by ordering the removal of all signs, displays, and interpretive exhibits at National Parks that do not align with its preferred narrative, thereby telling half-truths,» Kelley wrote.
Trump signed the executive order to work to «restoring truth and sanity to American history» at the nation’s museums, parks and landmarks. Burgum later directed the removal of what he called «improper partisan ideology» from museums, monuments, landmarks and other public exhibits under federal control.
«Museums in our nation’s capital should be places where individuals go to learn — not to be subjected to ideological indoctrination or divisive narratives that distort our shared history,» the Trump order read.

«What we were left, like virtually every Cabinet agency, was a complete mess from the Biden administration,» Burgum told Fox News’ Kayleigh McEnany on «Saturday in America,» vowing that he is «cleaning up the mess that’s been left with us.»

«They were doing everything from climate extremism to DEI, ESG, you name it, and they were doing it all opposed to what the American people voted for and what President Trump promised the American people we would do.»
