Steven Goldstein, the executive director of the Anne Frank Center, accused the president of only making the comments amid mounting pressure to address anti-Semitism. “The President’s sudden acknowledgement is a Band-Aid on the cancer of anti-Semitism that has infected his own Administration,” Goldstein said in a [statement](https://www.facebook.com/AnneFrankCenterforMutualRespect/posts/10155151871429040). “Make no mistake: The anti-Semitism coming out of this Administration is the worst we have ever seen from any Administration.” Goldstein said the White House refused to mention Jews in its Holocaust Remembrance Day statement and noted Trump’s silence when Jewish centers first received bomb threats. “When President Trump responds to anti-Semitism proactively and in real time, and without pleas and pressure, that’s when we’ll be able to say this President has turned a corner,” he said. “This is not that moment.” ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4677751/anne-frank-center-donald-trump-anti-semitism/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4677751/anne-frank-center-donald-trump-anti-semitism/"},"headline":"Anne Frank Center Slams President Trump’s Anti-Semitism Remarks: 'Too Little, Too Late'","datePublished":"2017-02-21T21:10:23.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T10:44:39.536Z","description":"\"Too little, too late\"","url":"https://time.com/4677751/anne-frank-center-donald-trump-anti-semitism/","keywords":["Donald Trump","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9d0e189b3875b6e0/6988bb3d656a3f361cbcedac/trump-anne-frank.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Melissa Chan","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/melissa-chan/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt9d0e189b3875b6e0/6988bb3d656a3f361cbcedac/trump-anne-frank.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"President Trump Visits African-American Museum in Washington","caption":"President Donald Trump delivers remarks after touring the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture on Feb. 21, 2017 in Washington.","creditText":"Kevin Dietsch—Pool/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/donald-trump/","name":"Donald Trump"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4677751/anne-frank-center-donald-trump-anti-semitism/","name":"Anne Frank Center Slams President Trump’s Anti-Semitism Remarks: 'Too Little, Too Late'"}}]}] ```
