Our statement following the horrific attack at Bondi Beach on the first night of Chanukah.

The Anne Frank Trust UK is sickened by news of the horrific attack at Bondi Beach, Sydney, where families were gathering to celebrate the first night of Chanukah.

We reaffirm our commitment to challenging antisemitism and all forms of hatred and intolerance.
