U.S. Embassy Closes Booth at Cairo Book Fair over Anti-Semitism
(Jerusalem Post) Cassandra Gomes-Hochberg - The U.S. Embassy closed its booth at the Cairo International Book Fair due to the presence of anti-Semitic materials, the Simon Wiesenthal Center reported Wednesday. The Egyptian stand at the fair offered such staples of anti-Semitic literature as The Protocols of the Elders of Zion, Henry Ford's International Jew, and Hitler's Mein Kampf. U.S. Charge d'Affaires Thomas H. Goldberger said, "I immediately contacted the Egyptian government...to protest the presence of anti-Semitic materials...and to demand that it take immediate action to remove the materials."
