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.

Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt., used campaign funds to pay for a subscription to Netflix from January to March despite his long-running criticism of the streaming service’s tax practices, Federal Election Commission records show.
Over the years, Sanders has repeatedly criticized Netflix for allegedly not paying its «fair share» of taxes and for raising prices on consumers as its executives grow wealthier. In contrast to these criticisms, the senator’s campaign began paying the streaming service $46.79 a month in January to cover a «subscription.»
«Corporate greed is Netflix doubling its profit last year to a record $5.3 billion, avoiding over $1 billion in taxes [and] blaming a 10.7% price increase on ‘inflation’ squeezing $1.35 billion from its 75 million subscribers while its CEO became $200 million richer in the pandemic,» Sanders wrote in March 2022.
Sanders has also, on multiple occasions, criticized Netflix for paying $0 in federal taxes. Netflix has sharply reduced its federal tax liability for some years by using a variety of corporate tax credits.

«Your $8.99 Netflix subscription is more than the company paid in federal income taxes last year (nothing),» the senator posted to social media in 2019. «We are going to make massive corporations finally pay their fair share.»
Senate campaigns have only released their financial information up to March, meaning that Sanders’ donor-funded Netflix subscription may be ongoing.
Sanders’ campaign did not respond to a request for comment after being reached by Fox News Digital Tuesday morning.

The Vermont senator has faced criticism in the past over his use of campaign funds.
In 2023, Sanders transferred $200,000 in donor cash to the Sanders Institute, a nonprofit organization run by his wife and stepson. Since then, Sanders has continued to semi-regularly use his campaign account to fund his family charity.
«The facts present in this case and the family ties involved certainly raise legitimate concern,» Kendra Arnold, executive director of the Foundation for Accountability and Civic Trust, told Fox News Digital at the time. «If the nonprofit and its executive director are truly producing work and actually earning the money, it is not illegal, but it is frowned upon. On the other hand, if nothing or very little is being done to legitimately earn the money, then it is highly likely a serious campaign finance violation has taken place.»

The over $550,000 in donor funds Sanders in donor funds Sanders spent on private jets during his 2025 «Fighting Oligarchy» tour has also fallen under scrutiny.
«You don’t expect a socialist to fly commercial do you?» conservative political communications consultant Matt Gorman said. «There’s no bigger hypocrite than the liberal who chastises us for eating meat and using gas stoves, yet flies in private jets.»

Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates interviewed Sanders for a segment in his Netflix original series titled «What’s Next? The Future with Bill Gates» in 2024.
The senator’s use of campaign funds to pay for a streaming service is relatively unusual.
Campaign finance records show that only five political committees, including one belonging to Sanders, have made payments to Netflix for expenses described as some form of subscription over the past ten years.

Separatists in Alberta declared they now have enough signatures to trigger a vote on the province leaving Canada.
The Stay Free Alberta group said Monday it formally submitted almost 302,000 signatures after needing 178,000 names to force the province to consider such a ballot measure. The question of separation could go on a province-wide ballot as early as October, as Alberta Premier Danielle Smith has said she would move forward if enough names are gathered and verified.
«This day is historic in Alberta history,» Mitch Sylvestre, the head of Stay Free Alberta, said Monday as he arrived at the Elections Alberta office in Edmonton leading a convoy of seven trucks to deliver the names. «It’s the first step to the next step — we’ve gotten by Round 3, and now we’re in the Stanley Cup final.»
Smith has said she personally does not support the oil-rich province leaving Canada, but she has accused previous federal Liberal governments of introducing legislation that hamstrings Alberta’s ability to produce and export oil, which she said has cost the province billions of dollars, and noted that she doesn’t want the federal government meddling in provincial issues, according to The Associated Press.

More than 300 supporters gathered in Edmonton on Monday, waving the provincial flag and chanting «Alberta strong.»
A «yes» vote would not trigger independence automatically, as negotiations with the federal government would have to take place.
Daniel Béland, a political science professor at McGill University in Montreal, told the AP that despite the independence effort, liberal Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney «is indeed popular, even in Alberta.»

«The push for independence by some Albertans predates his prime ministership, and it’s related to economic, fiscal, and political grievances about the seemingly unfair treatment of Alberta by the federal government,» Béland said. «These concerns increased during the Justin Trudeau years, but they have peaked and even declined since he left office.»
Béland added that some Indigenous groups that are already using the courts to prevent an independence referendum would use venues including the courts to stop independence from happening.

The petition for a referendum could face a hurdle this week as an Edmonton judge is expected to rule on a court challenge by Alberta First Nations, who say separation would violate treaty rights.
