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.

Protesters on Sunday set a Tesla vehicle on fire and smashed windows at a United Nations agency in Geneva as they marched against a Group of Seven summit set to kick off across the border in France, prompting police to fire tear gas.
Around 20,000 people gathered for a march that was initially peaceful before some protesters later damaged what they described as symbols of capitalism and multilateralism, including the parked Tesla and the UN agency.
Demonstrators grabbed bricks from the ground to throw at police, as tear gas was deployed in Geneva’s streets, witnesses told Reuters.

There have been previous protests at G7 gatherings over the years, with many demonstrators using the summits to speak out against capitalism, globalization, climate change and inequality.
Demonstrators in the latest protest said they were marching against the G7 as a symbol of concentrated political and economic power.
This comes after Tesla owner Elon Musk became the world’s first trillionaire last week.
«To me, it’s a meeting of the rich that shows once again how the rich can become even richer while the poor are left behind,» protestor Pippa Saugy told Reuters.

The G7 summit, scheduled to take place from Monday to Wednesday in Évian-les-Bains, on the shore of Lake Geneva, will feature the leaders of France, Britain, Canada, Germany, Italy, Japan and the U.S., as well as the European Union.
The conflicts in the Middle East and Ukraine are expected to dominate the agenda. Leaders will likely attempt to avoid a clash with U.S. President Donald Trump after he announced a tentative agreement aimed at ending the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran.
Businesses in Geneva were boarded up and hundreds of riot police were deployed in the streets over concerns about violence.

«This is an attempt to frighten demonstrators, to frighten people and discourage them from coming out to protest,» protester Mattia Piccard told Reuters.
Another demonstrator said she wanted to raise the issue of gender inequality during the march against the G7.
«The values represented by the G7 are completely misogynistic, and they contribute to inequality,» Clélia Colin told the outlet.

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.
