Wasserman Schultz Statement on Persecution of Jews in Ukraine

04/17/14
 
U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement today after reports out of Ukraine that Jews were being asked to register their identities:
 
"These are deeply alarming and offensive reports. We certainly need additional firsthand accounts from Jews in the area, as well as better information from Russian and Ukrainian authorities, but the fact that some actors are reusing tactics from the worst chapter of modern history adds a new, disturbing layer to an already intense and rapidly deteriorating situation in the region.
 
"I urge all parties involved to ensure that Jews, and any other ethnic or religious minorities, are not persecuted for who they are or used to foment violence and unrest.
 
"I will be actively monitoring this situation and looking into it further."
