The European Jewish Association (EJA) has called on the European Union to declare a six-month emergency period regarding antisemitism, bringing in special measures to protect Jewish life. EJA chairman Rabbi Menachem Margolin said Europe is in an 'antisemitism emergency' and that the situation of the Jewish people in Europe today is the worst it has been since Kristallnacht. The EJA is calling for an emergency period during which special measures would be implemented to protect Europe's Jews.
