Re “on Auschwitz anniversary,” “Great sorrow” over rising nationalism” (front page, January 28) and “Musk Insified for Blame by Germany’s Nazi” (press article, January 28):
While we mark 80 years from the release of the Nazi extermination field Auschwitz-Birkenau and the indescribable horrors perpetrated in opposition to the Jews there, it is disconcerting that this significant and solemn anniversary is spoiled through a tsunami of anti-Semitism, either in Germany And around. The world.
When Holocaust survivors, who endured barbarity and torture, feel compelled to stand up 8 decades later to sound the alarm of developing Jewish bigotry and hatred, it is a stark reminder of the demanding situations we still face on a global scale. Legitimizing the spread of anti-Semitism is repugnant and taking a stand in a civilized society.
No one should be rolling out the red carpet for extremism, xenophobia and hate-mongering. And attempts to minimize or move past the Nazis’ crimes against humanity are an affront to all of us. We cannot and should not wipe away the memory of the atrocities that occurred during the Holocaust, nor should we turn a blind eye to the tidal wave of antisemitism that is sweeping across the globe.

To the editor:
Elon Musk’s front with the excessive right of Germany Für Deutschland (AFD). By rejecting Germany’s duty for its Nazi history as a “past guilt” that deserves to be left behind, Mr. Musk trivializes critical classes in history and encourages extremist forces.
Germany’s reckoning with its Nazi history is essential to its democratic identity and a safeguard against the resurgence of hate. Mr. Musk’s endorsement of the AfD, a party that downplays the Holocaust and promotes xenophobic nationalism, undermines these principles. His remarks, coinciding with the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz’s liberation, only deepen the affront.
By supporting one of which the co -founder rejected the Nazi era as “a bird mud grain”, Mr. Musk confers harmful ideologies.
