Paris, 27 October 2020 

The following outrage was shared with the Swedish Prime Minister, Stefan Löfven, demanding immediate action.

Simon Wiesenthal Centre Director for International Relations, Dr. Shimon Samuels, today opened a zoom meeting on combating antisemitism in partnership with ECCAR, the over 150 municipality-member European Coalition of Cities Against Racism.

Samuels noted the Centre’s annual monitoring of hate at international book fairs, focusing on the just opened Arab Book Fair in Malmö, Sweden. “Due to its notoriety for Jew-hatred and the fact that local police had not arrested any of the perpetrators, the Centre’s Associate Dean and Global Social Action Director Rabbi Abraham Cooper, in 2010, imposed a ‘Travel Advisory’ on Malmö.”

The Malmö Arab Book Fair is now digital until 6 November but open with a physical calendar of events and displays from 30 October until 1 November.

The Fair’s official website offers a link to purchase from an online bookstore (Safahat Publishers) “The Synagogue of Satan: The Secret History of Jewish World Domination” – by Andrew Carrington Hitchcock (translated by Adham Waheeb Matar), published by the Syrian publisher Dar Tomoz in 2019.
