She said that Hitler and Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels staged the pogrom with the help of the SA, SS, and the Nazi Party, calling it the beginning of a systematic destruction of Jewish life and culture in Europe. She said that the Holocaust still left a great loss behind and urged reflection on the six million people who were murdered and on the children and grandchildren who were never born. Nerbrand described anti-Semitism as palpable, especially in Malmö, and said that the fight against hatred of Jews should not be a right-left issue.
