AUSCHWITZ: Some 130 police leaders from across the globe converged on Kraków, Poland this week for a first-of-its-kind initiative amid rampant antisemitism.

The event is aligned with the March of the Living, which brings thousands of participants to Germany and Poland each year to provide a first-hand look at the Nazi death camps and to teach the lessons of the Holocaust through engagement with survivors.

Paul Goldenberg, a law enforcement veteran of 37-years, deputy director of the Rutgers Miller Center on Policing and Community Resilience, which organized the initiative alongside the University of Virginia’s Center for Public Safety and Justice, spoke of the importance of the trip.

«Being here is a testament to who these officers are and to the oath they have taken to protect all communities, regardless of identity,» he told Fox News Digital. «It is a commitment not only to ourselves, but to the people we serve. These are very challenging times, and the police, in all their forms, can play a significant role in sustaining democratic values.

«This initiative is about learning, professional development and remembrance. It is also about reminding ourselves who we are, why we hold these positions and what we must do to ensure people are kept safe — no matter who they are or where they are,» he said.

The three-day program included a walking tour of Kazimierz, the Jewish Quarter in Kraków, a guided tour of Auschwitz on Monday; a press conference and testimonies by a Holocaust survivor and survivors of antisemitic shootings, culminating on Tuesday’s participation in the March of the Living and a tour of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Goldenberg said the Holocaust was unique in that it was a state-directed campaign in which police forces played a role, and that a central lesson is how the Nazis’ dehumanization of Jews and other targeted groups enabled the system to function. He added that the goal of the initiative is for participants to return to their departments with a deeper understanding that will help them better train officers, support victims of hate crimes and appreciate the importance and critical nature of their responsibilities.

He pointed to the urgency of the situation, noting that armed military units are now guarding synagogues in Western countries and that both the United States and Canada have deployed specialized police forces to protect Jewish institutions.

«What is striking is that these are not foreign entities — they are integral parts of the societies in which they exist. A synagogue in Belgium is Belgian. A synagogue in London belongs to London. A synagogue in New York City is part of the fabric of that city,» he told Fox News Digital.

«From a policing perspective, what is deeply concerning is the erosion of safety and security for vulnerable communities. It is a deeply alarming scenario — one that, in some respects, echoes patterns seen in the 1930s,» he added.

The theme of this year’s March is combating antisemitism, which has surged to unprecedented levels since the Hamas-led Oct. 7, 2023, massacre in Israel.

Abbie Talmoud, director for Jewish Community Affairs at the Embassy of Israel to the United States, survived a terror attack outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C., in May 2025, in which two Israeli embassy staff members, Yaron Lischinsky and Sarah Lynn Milgrim, were killed.

Speaking to Fox News Digital in Auschwitz, Talmoud said that amid rising antisemitism, feeling safe in the United States «is really difficult» and would require «systematic change,» adding that she has stopped attending some events where she does not feel adequate security precautions are in place.

«There needs to be an understanding that the way we don’t allow racism for other races and ethnicities, we can’t allow antisemitism. It needs to come from the top — the school system, parents, governments,» Talmoud said.

Catherine Szkop, director of public affairs at the Embassy of Israel to the United States, who focuses on interfaith relations and engagement, carpooled with Talmoud, Lischinsky and Milgrim to the event that evening and also survived.

«I have a family history tied to the Holocaust. In the Book of Names, I looked up ‘Szkop’ and saw a page taller than me filled with that name, along with dates and locations of those who were murdered. I realized my own name could have appeared there, with ‘murdered in Washington, D.C.’ written next to it,» she told Fox News Digital at Auschwitz.

Szkop said she has never been this vigilant or fearful of potential attacks.

«I wear headphones less; it makes me more aware of my surroundings. It’s a mix of fear and wanting some peace of mind after what happened. I don’t let it stop me from living, but it’s made me a little more afraid,» she said.

Jeanne Hengemuhle, superintendent of the New Jersey State Police, told Fox News Digital in Kraków that her agency, which includes 3,500 sworn members and 1,500 civilian staff, works closely with community leaders across the state to address hate-related concerns before they escalate into crises, emphasizing that early engagement, information-sharing and collaboration are key to preventing issues before they arise.

«We are law enforcement, but we are also part of the communities we serve, and we must recognize that role as the first line of defense,» she said.

Hengemuhle said that, as human beings, there is a responsibility to do everything possible to combat hate, which requires understanding and educating one another, as well as drawing on different policing and professional backgrounds.

«This is my first year, and I am very humbled to have been invited to take part in the march and learn more. To me, it is about coming together and learning from what happened in the past so we do not allow it to happen again in the future,» she said.

«The Holocaust did not happen overnight,» she continued. «There were small, incremental changes that ultimately led to what took place. I think it is important that, by coming together and having these discussions, we ask whether we are seeing the kinds of early indicators that could lead us down a dangerous path — and how we intervene before it goes too far.»

Jim Skinner, sheriff of Collin County, Texas, and incoming vice president of the National Sheriffs’ Association, told Fox News Digital in Kraków that as a law enforcement leader, his responsibility is to serve everyone equally, noting that while there is significant partisanship and political division in the United States, law enforcement must serve and protect all communities equally.

«We all have an obligation to dig deep and make sure hate doesn’t happen on our watch, and to recognize that we have a fundamental responsibility to think critically about how to keep our communities safe,» he said.

Skinner noted that North Texas is home to a large and vibrant Jewish community, which he said he is fortunate to serve. He added that he traveled to Israel shortly after the Oct. 7 attack with two other sheriffs and visited Kibbutz Be’eri, an experience he said he will never forget.

«I came away with important, practical lessons for my organization, but also with a deeper understanding of a world filled with hate. It reinforced for me that the authority entrusted to me by the people who elected me must be used wisely in how I approach my job each day — to ensure that something like that does not happen to the citizens where I live, and that if it ever did, we would have a proper and effective response,» he said.

«I think about the march,» he continued, «it honors Holocaust victims and serves as a reminder of the consequences of hate and the importance of standing against violence and intolerance. That’s the message I want everyone I have influence over to understand.»

Don Lama, Lama, Lamita fue la frase que sonó en las transmisiones.

El origen de su apodo de Don Lama no surgió dentro del gremio boxístico ya que salió de un personaje que narra futbol, se trató de Christian Martinoli. Fue el propio Eduardo Lamazón que reveló cómo el Deus influyó para que se le “bautizara” de tal forma.

En una entrevista con Erik Terrible Morales para su podcast Un Round Más, el analista de boxeo contó cómo surgió la idea de que se le llame Don Lama. A pesar de que Carlos Aguilar fue uno de los precursores al llamarle Lama Lamita, el otro sobrenombre se lo puso Martinoli.

De acuerdo con el testimonio de Eduardo Lamazón, en un programa en el que participaron juntos, el fanático del Toluca lo nombró como Don Lama y sugirió que el apodo se quedara para próximas emisiones deportivas. A pesar de que Martinoli se dedica exclusivamente a cubrir fútbol, cruzó camino con el experimentado analista de box y se encargó de bautizarlo como Don Lama, nombre que perdurará en la memoria de los fanáticos.

Don Lama me puso Martinoli. Martinoli en un programa que estábamos compartiendo, en una entrevista, de algún modo dijo Don Lama y dijo ‘tomen nota, que se quede don Lama, así le vamos a decir’”, narró Lamazón.

A partir de ese momento, el resto de los comentaristas de boxeo adoptaron tal apodo para referirse al Lama del boxeo. Según compartió Eduardo Lamazón, el Zar del boxeo completó el seudónimo “Y después lo de Lama, Lama, Lamita para dar la tarjeta fue Carlos Aguilar”, agregó el analista de box.

A partir de ese momento en todas las transmisiones deportivas de Box Azteca el público reconoció el apodo y se conservó. Por ello el comentarista confesó que sí le gustó la forma en la que Martinoli y Carlos Aguilar lo nombraron ya que reconoció que el sobrenombre ha sido bien recibido por la afición.

Sí me gusto, sobre todo porque ha funcionado bien, la gente lo ha recibido bien. No ha habido burlas ni nada por el estilo, sino ha habido anécdotas”, agregó.

Finalmente, en una de las anécdotas que compartió sobre su apodo, recordó la peculiar forma en la que fue reconocido por un chofer de tráiler, pero lo llamó de forma diferente.

“En una ocasión iba yo caminando en la calle y frenó un camión de carga, feo frenó, me dice ‘oiga, ¡usted es el Dalay Lama!’, sí, sí, le dije”.

Eduardo Lamazón solo se ausentó solo en una ocasión de las narraciones de TV Azteca, la cual fue en octubre de 2021 por problemas de salud. En 2025 recibió un homenaje en vida y se alejó de las coberturas.

Christian Martinoli es uno de los narradores más emblemáticos de Azteca Deportes y parte de su estilo narrativo se ha caracterizado por sus emblemáticas frases al momento de cubrir un juego. Pero también ha sobresalido gracias a los apodos que le ha puesto a sus compañeros de micrófonos.

Uno de los primeros sobrenombres que otorgó fue a Luis García al llamarlo Doctor García. A pesar de que el ex futbolista no tiene ninguna relación con la medicina, Martinoli lo nombró así. Otro apodo se lo dio a Jorge Campos pues en lugar de llamarlo Brody le puso el Inmortal por su legado en el fútbol.

Finalmente a Zague, después de una polémica filtración, Martinoli sugirió la frase de impresionanti cada que Luis Roberto Alves daba su análisis.

Florida GOP candidate reveals why ‘amazing’ fundraising haul and key Trump moves suggest midterm ‘optimism’

Published

NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!

Scott Singer, the former Republican mayor of Boca Raton and a candidate for Congress in Florida, is touting a significant campaign fundraising haul while outlining to Fox News Digital the reasons why he believes there is reason for optimism for the GOP in November.

Singer’s first-quarter fundraising numbers in the 2026 cycle showed him significantly outraising incumbent Jared Moskowitz, D-Fla., by a nearly 3-to-1 margin, along with slightly more cash on hand, despite being a first-time candidate.

As a result of Florida’s new redistricting push, Singer recently announced he will be running in the redrawn 25th congressional district, and it is unclear which district Moskowitz will decide to run in, but Singer tells Fox News Digital he is «very pleased» with the financial support he’s gotten from almost 3,600 contributors

«We’re very pleased that we had an amazing fundraising quarter, one of the best of any Republican challenger in the nation,» Singer said. «I think it’s going well because people are really enthused about our candidacy. I think people are ready for change. They’re upset with the progress of Congress.»

GOP LAWMAKER RALLIES AROUND TRUMP’S TAX-CUT CAMPAIGN AS COMPETITIVE 2026 HOUSE RACE LOOMS: ‘BIG ISSUE’

With most pundits predicting a tough time for Republicans in the upcoming midterms as they attempt to hold a razor-thin majority in the House and tight majority in the Senate along with historical headwinds, Singer says he sees «great reason for optimism» as he campaigns in his race.

 «We have a strong economy, the strongest we’ve had in years, record growth in GDP inflation before the latest blip, which is temporary because of the Iran conflict,» Singer explained. «Inflation was at the lowest level we had for years and voters understand that it was the one unchecked runaway inflation under President Biden that put us in this situation.»

VOTERS SAY REPUBLICANS OUTDO DEMOCRATS ON THESE KEY ISSUES: FOX NEWS POLL

Singer continued, «President Trump and the administration have done so much to bring prices down across the board, and cutting regulations will continue to do that. The biggest tax cut in American history is reaching American taxpayers right now, with huge refunds going to individuals and the average refund for 12 million small businesses of $7,000 and that was done with every Democrat in Congress voting against it.»

Singer told Fox News Digital the GOP is now the «party of the middle» class thanks to tax-cutting policies for tips and overtime, and said he believes those «real benefits» will continue to take effect over the next year.

«I think people are going to be more optimistic,» Singer said. «If you look at so many objective indicators and not the panic that some media outlets put out there, things are great and when you interview voters and ask them about policies, they lean more to the right. They support the Republican agenda. That’s why I feel very optimistic, and I think other candidates, if we focus on the agenda and less on what the media would have us buy into comments about personality, it really affects what we’re doing on paychecks and what we are doing on the border.»

Republicans currently hold a razor-thin majority in the U.S. House of Representatives heading into the 2026 midterms, one of the narrowest controlling margins in nearly a century, with Democrats widely believed to be holding an edge, especially given the party in power historically sees losses in midterm elections.

Aggressive redistricting by both parties in states across the country has complicated the situation even further.

Democrats have been hammering President Trump and the Republican Party on high gas prices and the economy, and a spokesperson for the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee pushed back on the Republican agenda in a statement to Fox News Digital.

«Florida Republicans knew they couldn’t win on their cost-raising, billionaire-first, wildly unpopular agenda that’s crushing working families and small businesses, which is why they’re desperate to gerrymander the maps and rig the midterms,» DCCC spokesperson Nebeyatt Betre said. «Any Republican who claims the GOP’s price-spiking policies are popular only proves the fact they have no idea what voters are feeling right now.»
