The ceremony, taking place 75 years to the day of the liberation of Auschwitz Birkenau Nazi German concentration and extermination camp was attended by senior UN officials, ambassadors, holocaust survivors, and numerous guests.
This was a beautiful solemn moment where people come together and collectively turn the tide against antisemitism around the world, according to Mr Mooney, a dual national of the USA and Equatorial Guinea, and President of New York-based H.R. 1242 Resilience project. Equatorial Guinea remains a reliable regional partner against extremism, particularly in Central Africa, added Mooney.
