(SRN NEWS) – Eighty years after the Holocaust, more than 200,000 Jewish survivors are still alive, but according to a new study 70 percent of them will be gone within the next 10 years. Currently, the survivors’ median age is 87 and more than 1,400 of them are over 100 years old. The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany projects that within 15 years, 90 percent of survivors will pass away. It also shows that mortality rates for survivors vary greatly across geographic locations depending on access to health care and economic stability.
( ) Democratic Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison has filed a preemptive lawsuit against President Trump over transgenderism. Mr. Trump has declared that Title Nine does not allow boys to play against girls on school sports teams or use female bathrooms, and the administration has filed suit against Maine over the issue.

Title Nine is a federal law that prohibits sex-based discrimination in any educational program or activity that receives federal funds. It was enacted in 1972.
( ) Anti-Semitism rose again last year in the U.S. and college campuses were a hot spot. A new report from the Anti-Defamation League lists over 9,300 incidents across the country in 2024 — a five percent increase from the year before. That trend was powered by an 84 percent increase in anti-Semitic acts at America’s colleges and universities. The Trump administration has moved quickly to try and quell anti-Semitism on campus but pro-Palestinian groups are well entrenched there. Anti-Semitism is on the rise all around the world.
( ) The Department of Veterans Affairs is establishing a task force to investigate employee reports of anti-Christian bias among their colleagues. It’s all part of a broader effort by the Trump administration to root out discrimination against Christians in government that flourished during the Biden years. V.A. Secretary Doug Collins has sent a rare department-wide email asking for names, dates, and locations of any alleged incidents to be reported to an internal email address. A similar request has been sent out to all employees of the State Department.
