From Ronald Lauders 26 April 2015 address to a gathering on the 70 anniversary of the liberation of the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp in April 1945

“...there are few countries that don’t bear some culpability for the crime of the Holocaust..... We know the perpetrators – but they were not just Germans and Austrians. There was complicity in practically every country in Europe.”

In 2020 he stated that "Speeches are not enough to stop antisemitism" and "called for greater legislation to police hate crime."
