AIJAC expresses its sincere condolences to the Royal Family on the passing of Prince Philip.

The son of one of the Righteous Among the Nations, he demonstrated a courageous determination and commitment to fight against the Nazis in war and to fight Nazism as an evil ideology at home and abroad.

As a prominent public figure for so many years, he served his country and the Commonwealth with dedication, flair and great distinction. He had a strong, unique personality and generated a real warmth.

May his memory always be a blessing.

 

Mark Leibler, National Chairman
Dr Colin Rubenstein, Executive Director
