Jackson was fined, a source told ESPN's Tim McManus. The wide receiver alsointends to donate a significant amount to Jewish community efforts, a source told McManus.

Jackson, who apologized for his posts last week, was on the call withEdward Mosberg, a survivor of the Holocaust who was dressed in his concentration camp uniform. Jackson posted on Instagram about the call on Friday, including a screengrab of the Zoom call.

"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," he said on the call, according to the Jerusalem Post.

According to the Post, he added: "I want to take the proper steps to let people know that I never intentionally had any hatred in my heart, I never wanted to put the Jewish community down, I want to educate myself more and help bridge the gaps between all different cultures."

Mosberg invited Jackson to visitAuschwitz last week in an open letter after Jackson's social media posts. Mosberg survived multiple concentration camps, including Mauthausen, and said his late wife was a survivor of Auschwitz.

From The Depths, an organization that supports Holocaust survivors, is arranging details of the trip with Jackson. Mosberg is an honorary chairman of the organization.

"We are working with DeSean and his team to set dates for this trip to go ahead and are happy that DeSean agreed,"Jonny Daniels, the founder of From The Depths, who originated the Zoom call between Jackson and Mosberg, said in a statement.

Auschwitz-Birkenau was Nazi Germany's largest concentration camp; 1.1 million men, women and children were killed there.
