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.

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.

«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.»

Panamá fue designada oficialmente como sede regional de la conmemoración del Día Mundial del Donante de Sangre 2026, distinción que posiciona al país como referente en los esfuerzos para fortalecer los sistemas de sangre segura y avanzar hacia modelos sustentados en la donación voluntaria, altruista y recurrente.
Cada 14 de junio se celebra el Día Mundial del Donante de Sangre, como un homenaje al nacimiento de Karl Landsteiner, el científico austríaco que descubrió los grupos sanguíneos y recibió el Premio Nobel de Fisiología o Medicina en 1930 por sus aportes fundamentales a la transfusión segura de sangre
El Ministerio de Salud, la Caja de Seguro Social y la Organización Panamericana de la Salud/Organización Mundial de la Salud (OPS/OMS) formaron una alianza orientada a fortalecer la gobernanza, el financiamiento y la coordinación de los servicios de sangre, garantizando una respuesta más eficiente y equitativa a las necesidades de la población.
Julio Arosemena, viceministro encargado de Salud, insistió en la necesidad existente de que más personas se conviertan en donantes voluntarios y periódicos, destacando que la disponibilidad de sangre segura es fundamental para la atención de emergencias, cirugías, tratamientos oncológicos y otras intervenciones médicas.
Anualmente, el país pasa por periodos en que las autoridades sanitarias deben hacer llamados a la población para que acuda a donar sangre, que en muchas ocasiones tiende a escasear.
Erika Zhong, jefa del Departamento de Medicina Transfusional y Servicios de Sangre del Ministerio de Salud, recordó que una sola unidad de sangre puede salvar hasta tres vidas adultas o hasta ocho vidas pediátricas, mediante el aprovechamiento de sus diferentes componentes.
Una nota del Ministerio de Salud indica que la especialista señaló que uno de los principales desafíos del país es reducir la dependencia de los donantes de reposición y consolidar una cultura de donación voluntaria y recurrente que garantice reservas suficientes durante todo el año.
La jefa del Departamento de Medicina Transfusional y Servicios de Sangre del Ministerio de Salud indicó que «la sangre no se puede fabricar; su disponibilidad depende exclusivamente de la solidaridad de las personas que deciden donar voluntariamente».
Durante una actividad conmemorativa del día del donante de sangre, las autoridades de salubridad coincidieron en señalar la necesidad de fortalecer la articulación entre las instituciones públicas, el sector privado y los organismos internacionales para optimizar la captación, distribución y uso de los componentes sanguíneos.
Ana Rivière-Cinnamond, representante de la OPS/OMS en Panamá, destacó la importancia de promover la donación voluntaria y recurrente como una acción capaz de salvar la vida de quienes más lo necesitan, según el Ministerio de Salud.
Destacó el lema de la campaña 2026: «Una gota de humanidad. Donemos sangre. Salvemos vidas“, un mensaje que pone en el centro la solidaridad humana y el impacto que puede generar cada donación.
La directora nacional de los Servicios de Salud de la Caja de Seguro Social, Marlin Cedeño, destacó que cada donación representa una oportunidad de vida para pacientes que requieren transfusiones debido a cirugías, accidentes o enfermedades que demandan componentes sanguíneos.
Cada unidad de sangre donada puede beneficiar hasta a tres pacientes, ya que de ella se obtienen componentes esenciales como glóbulos rojos empacados, plaquetas y plasma fresco congelado, los cuales son distribuidos según las necesidades médicas de cada paciente en los hospitales de la red institucional.
Como parte de la conmemoración, se desarrollaron jornadas simultáneas de donación voluntaria en distintos puntos del país, con el propósito de fortalecer las reservas nacionales y fomentar una cultura solidaria que contribuya a salvar vidas.
