WARSAW, Poland (AP) " German Chancellor Angela Merkel has warned that anti-Semitism is on the rise in her country as political leaders, Holocaust survivors and others mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day.
In a weekly podcast Saturday, she called it "incomprehensible and a disgrace that no Jewish institution can exist without police security "whether it is a school, a kindergarten or a synagogue."
In Warsaw, Poland, U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson took part in a wreath-laying ceremony at a memorial to the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising of 1943.
Commemorations will also be held later Saturday to mark the 73rd anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
