Jewish group wants Trudeau to condemn glorification of Nazis during Latvia visit

B’nai Brith is concerned with the rise of extreme right forces in Europe, who are trying to rewrite history about Nazi sympathizers, with parades and demonstrations

A top Jewish organization is calling on Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to use his trip to Latvia to push back against the glorification of Nazi collaborators in that country as well as attempts to deny the nation’s role in the Holocaust.

In a letter to Trudeau, B’nai Brith Canada’s chief executive officer Michael Mostyn said Canada can speak out more forcefully to denounce parades in Latvia and other eastern European nations that honour units who fought with the Nazis during the Second World War.
