Dear Dan,

Thank you for bringing up the story of our colleague and friend Jiří Fiedler and for linking to the moving article by Helen Epstein.

However, the "hint of antisemitism" you search in the brutal murder of Jiří Fiedler isn't substantiated in any way and while we still wait for the outcome of the investigation, there are no indications of this kind.

Best wishes,

Michal

Fifth Annual Wiesenthal Centre Report on Antisemitism at the Casablanca Book Fair (SIEL)

Paris, March 3 2014

"The Minister claimed in 2013 all contested books related to Palestinian resistance.  2014 examples express hate for Jews and Judaism past and present, with little reference to the Middle East."

"Genocidal Syria and anarchic Egypt are still able to distract attention by scapegoating the Jews"

In a letter to the Moroccan Culture Minister, Mohammed Amine Sbihi,  the Simon Wiesenthal Centre Director for International Relations, Dr. Shimon Samuels, presented his fifth annual monitor of anti-Jewish incitement at the SIEL (Salon International de l'Edition et du Livre), held in Casablance from 13 February.
