- The chairman of Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust Remembrance Center on Tuesday criticised the country's delegation to the United Nations for putting on yellow stars, a symbol of Nazi persecution of Jews, during a meeting of the Security Council.
Memories of the Holocaust have been close to the surface in Israel and beyond since Oct. 7, when Hamas fighters killed some 1,400 people, mostly civilians, in southern Israel -- the worst loss of Jewish life in a day since the Nazi genocide. Israel's ambassador to the U.N., Gilad Erdan, and fellow delegates put yellow stars with the words"Never Again" written on them on their jackets during a debate on Monday about the subsequent war on Hamas launched by Israel in the Gaza Strip.
But Dani Dayan, chairman of Yad Vashem, which is recognised around the world as an authoritative source of Holocaust scholarship and place of remembrance, said the act dishonoured victims of the genocide as well as the State of Israel.
