Steven Spielberg denounced 'extreme' anti-Semitism ravaging American college campuses in his first comments regarding the Israel-Hamas war.
In an event celebrating the 30th anniversary of the Shoah Foundation, an organization dedicated to holocaust education founded by Spielberg, the film director addressed a room at the University of Southern California.
At the event on Monday, attended by over thirty Holocaust survivors, Spielberg said: 'Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.'
'I am increasingly alarmed that we may be condemned to repeat history – to once again have to fight for the very right to be Jewish,' he said in a video of the speech released by Deadline.
He called out extremism on college campuses and the idea of 'The Other' that 'poisons discourse' and creates a 'dangerous wedge throughout our communities' and 'leading to anti-Semitism.'
