DeSean Jackson accepts invitation to visit Auschwitz

After speaking to Holocaust survivor Edward Mosberg, DeSean Jackson has accepted an invitation to visit Auschwitz in order to educate about the tragic history of anti-Semitism.

"I grew up in Los Angeles, and never really spent time with anyone from the Jewish community and didn’t know much about their history, this has been such a powerful experience for me to learn and educate myself," Jackson said, via the Jerusalem Post.

Jackson found himself facing widespread criticism after misattributing an anti-Semitic quote to Adolf Hitler on social media. The Eagles receiver apologized for the post and agreed to meet with Mosberg after he was invited by the Holocaust survivor to visit the concentration camp.

The trip is being coordinated by From The Depth, an organization established to ensure that the horrors of the Holocaust are not forgotten. Mosberg is an honorary chairman.
