The Wiener Holocaust Library stands in solidarity with Britain’s Jewish community after yesterday's horrific attack targeting Jews on Yom Kippur. Our thoughts are with the families of Adrian Daulby and Melvin Cravitz, the Heaton Park Hebrew Congregation & all who have been affected by these events.
