Jewish community leaders in Belgium have expressed outrage at the publication of an official brochure that \u201cglorifies\u201d two collaborators with the Nazi occupation during World War II.<\/span><\/p>\n

A statement on Thursday from the Belgian Coordinating Committee of Jewish Organizations (CCOJB) protested that \u201cin the monthly magazine financed by the Flemish Parliament, and to celebrate the 50th anniversary of this important institution in our country, two of the most important figures of Nazi collaboration are being honored.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The two collaborators \u2014 Auguste Borms and Staf De Clercq \u2014 were described by the Belgian newspaper De Standaard as \u201cnotorious Nazi sympathizers,\u201d who were now being honored by Flemish parliamentarians for their role in \u201cshaping the emancipation of language and people\u201d in the Flemish region of the country. 25,000 Belgian Jews were deported by the Nazis to the Auschwitz extermination camp<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe honoring of these collaborators of the Nazi regime is scandalous,\u201d Yohan Benizri, president of the CCOJB, declared in a statement.<\/span><\/p>\n

He continued: \u201cBelgian Jews, and all democrats, have had enough. We already suffer from worrying about our safety and seeing our children exposed to increasingly unbridled antisemitism.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Benizri observed that the \u201cdistortion and denial of the Shoah is increasing, especially on the internet. Many young Belgians do not know the history of their country. Hate speech cannot be effectively combated when celebrating a shameful heritage.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
