(Jewish Group) Britain's Shameful Record on the Holocaust and Labour's Sell-out of Jewish Survivor

[Behind the Aegis]

(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!)

There is a moving statue of Jewish refugee children in London’s Liverpool Street Station that commemorates the Kindertransport, which brought 10,000 predominantly Jewish children to safety in the U.K. as WWII was brewing.

Maybe it is time to erect an empty plinth alongside it and encourage our schoolchildren to ask their teachers, "Why did their parents not come with them?"

The current debate in the U.K. over anti-Semitism in the Labour Party and the persistent presence of Holocaust denial offers us a chance to ask some important questions about Britain’s role in the Holocaust and its aftermath.

In Britain, we mark International Holocaust Memorial Day, and have instituted compulsory Holocaust lessons in school. But it is time to challenge the national myth that the British were the good guys through and through.

We fought the Nazis and won – but did we help the Jews? No, not really, is the answer.
