The Auschwitz extermination camp museum posted a tweet on its official Twitter account yesterday (Monday) that it lost thousands of followers during the month of December.
The unusual message issued by the museum reads, "Our account lost over 7,000 followers in December. We continue to ask for your involvement. You create this wonderful community and help us perpetuate the memory. Support the Auschwitz Museum and amplify our voice."
Last month it was announced that since the outbreak of the war there has been a historic increase in cases of anti-Semitism across the US. According to the data published by the Anti-Defamation League, more than 2,000 incidents have been reported in the US since the Hamas massacre, an increase of 337 percent compared to the same period last year.
According to them, anti-Semitic incidents in the US have risen to the highest number of incidents compared to any two-month time period since the Anti-Defamation League began tracking these incidents in 1979.
