Lone protester interrupts Holocaust remembrance event in S.F.
An invitation-only commemoration Friday in San Francisco ahead of International Holocaust Remembrance Day became a symbolic microcosm of the current waves of antisemitism and anti-Zionism when a protester interrupted every speaker at the event.
Gathered for just over an hour at the city’s Holocaust memorial outside of the Legion of Honor, about two dozen community leaders and diplomats wore yellow ribbons in solidarity with the hostages who have been held by Hamas since Oct. 7.
The regional consulates of Israel, Ireland and Germany, the American Jewish Committee and the Jewish Family and Children’s Services Holocaust Center organized the event, together with the Anti-Defamation League and Jewish Community Relations Council Bay Area.
The guests included at least one Holocaust survivor, Anita Feinstein, and a child of Holocaust survivors, Riva Berelson. Both are AJC regional board members.
