U.N. Secretary-General Says Neo-Nazism Is on the Rise, Spurred by Pandemic
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres is urging global action against
the spread of neo-Nazism and white supremacy, which he says has
proliferated during the COVID-19 pandemic. Guterres spoke at the U.N.
Holocaust Remembrance Service. Today marks the 76th anniversary of the
liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

Secretary-General António Guterres: "Anti-Semitism continues to blight
our world. It is sad, but not surprising, that the COVID-19 pandemic has
triggered yet another eruption of this poisonous ideology. We can never
let down our guard."
