Anti-Semitism conference ends with call for follow-up meeting

VIENNA, Austria - Germany on Friday proposed a new
conference on anti-Semitism to be held in Berlin
next year, as delegates from 55 nations wrapped up
consultations on combating a resurgence of hatred
against Jews.

The suggestion was welcomed by
conference participants.
Rudolph Giuliani, the former
New York mayor and chief U.S.
delegate, called support for a
follow-up meeting a year from
now "a significant step."

A decision isn't likely,
however, before a meeting of

foreign ministers of the organization's member
countries, scheduled for later this year.

Congressman Christopher H. Smith, a Republican
from New Jersey and a member of the U.S.
delegation, called the invitation from Germany
"symbolic with a large S," considering its
leading wartime role in the Holocaust.

Phil Baum of the American Jewish Congress said
the present and proposed future meeting site -
Vienna and Berlin - were recognition that
"those culpable in the past are taking steps"
to combat the hatred that led to killings of
more than 6 million Jews.

More than 350 delegates from Europe, central
Asia, the United States, Russia and Canada
attended the two-day conference against a
backdrop of a spike in anti-Semitic acts,
especially in Europe.

The Simon Wiesenthal Center in Los Angeles,
which tracks anti-Semitic incidents, said last
month that attacks against Jews in Europe have
reached the highest level since World War II.

Since 2001, the center has documented 1,300
anti-Semitic acts in France, including the
burning of a Marseille synagogue and the
stabbing of a rabbi in Paris. In Britain,
records show 1,308 attacks between 1998 and
2001.
