Two exhibitions at the Council of Europe

[25/01/05 19:00:00] In connection with the commemoration of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camps, two exhibitions sponsored by the representations of Russia and Israel were inaugurated today in the presence of the Secretary General and the President of the Parliamentary Assembly.

Tommy Lapid, a former Israeli Minister of Justice, performed the opening ceremony and told his audience that one thing they could still learn was that remaining silent about the horror of anti-Semitic and racist acts possibly posed a greater danger than the acts themselves.
