A Holocaust survivor has thanked Pope Francis for highlighting anti-Semitism during his visit to Central Europe.
The Hungarian-born Jewish writer Edith Bruck expressed her gratitude in a letter given to the pope on Sept 15 during his in-flight press conference at the end of the four-day trip to Hungary and Slovakia.
The pope met Jewish communities in both countries on his Sept 12-15 visit, recalling their suffering during the Second World War and deploring contemporary anti-Semitism.
Bruck, who is 90 years old, wrote: “Beloved Pope Francis, your words on anti-Semitism, which has never been eradicated, are more relevant today than ever. Not only in the countries you are visiting, but throughout Europe.”
