Georgian President Salome Zurabishvili, who is on her first official visit to Israel, has attended the 5th World Holocaust Forum with top state officials across the world earlier today.
The event was timed with the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the largest of the German Nazi concentration camps and extermination centers, and came with the message that ‘antisemitism has no place in our global society.’
