                  Julius Meinl V, the President of the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress (EAJC), gave the first interview to Russian media. In an interview with the global Jewish on-line center "Jewish.ru" EAJC leader spoke about how World War II and the Holocaust affected the history of his family, on anti-Semitism in the modern world and his arrival in the Jewish public policy.
                  From the interview:
                  – All your life you were engaged in the business and have never been a public figure, but in 2014 you headed the Euro-Asian Jewish Congress. Why did you make that decision?
                  – From a certain age, you begin to wonder what you've done for the society. I see the rise of anti-Semitism in Europe. Since the Second World War, the Jews have never experienced such difficulties on the European continent. Anti-Semitism takes many forms - from conventional prejudices to criticism of Israel and rampant conspiracy theories that Jews rule the world. And I decided that the time has come to act, that no one will again squeeze us on the sidelines.
