1: #HolocaustMemorialDay Cliff Jones (member of @UKLabour & ex staff of @LivUni) writes on the @jeremycorbyn supporting FB page The Word, how he failed an Israeli student’s dissertation on death camps, not only because she’s Israeli but because the research into them wasn’t good!
2: We can only presume that he means the research into the Holocaust wasn’t good enough for @LivUni , which is, of course, Holocaust denial?

Cliff then goes on to suggest that Yad Vashem (he spells it incorrectly) the Holocaust memorial is the equivalent of “Disneyworld”
3: His disgusting posts attracted 11 shares!

Cliff’s friend Graham Swinson, carries on the antisemitism by suggesting that “The Jews lost an opportunity to turn world opinion around against hatred by reducing the racial element in their reaction to the Holocaust”

A few brief thoughts on #HolocaustMemorialDay and the 75th anniversary of the first Russian troops reaching Auschwitz murder camp (thread)
I find the idea that Auschwitz was 'liberated' an incongruous one. I understand what people mean but listening to the very few survivors (over 1m people were murdered there) I'm not sure they will ever truly be 'liberated' from the horror of seeing their families murdered
Both sides of my family reached the UK from Eastern Europe around 50 years before the Holocaust, probably fleeing the pogroms (anti-Jewish riots) which were part of the slow and steady build up to the Holocaust. They were refugees just like the many we now turn away

Whites are not permitted to advocate for their own interests nor have a homeland.

The reason, we were taught, is that when last a prominent figure in history advocated for such, a human tragedy of unprecedented scale occurred...the #Holocaust

imdb.com/title/tt007702…
Its horrors have been enshrined in film & made against the law to question or revise in many countries.

To my knowledge, the Holocaust is the only historical event not subject to the rigors of careful re-examination as new evidence comes to light (as is standard procedure.)
Since the events which make up the Holocaust are used as the hinge-pin for the denial of a homeland to people of European heritage, isn't it quite important to have an accurate and rational examination of the same?

Many don't consider what happened to Holocaust survivors after camps were liberated, especially the thousands of orphaned children that had survived.

In 1945, 732 of them were brought to the UK to recuperate and begin a new life.

#HolocaustMemorialDay #HolocaustRemembranceDay
The 732 child survivors were brought to the UK by the Central British fund, now @WJRelief, who also organised the Kindertransport scheme.

The CBF lobbied the government, who agreed to grant the children two year visas provided not a cent was spent on them

#HolocaustMemorialDay
Money to care for the child survivors was raised privately, largely by the Jewish community.

The 732 children, of whom only 80 were girls, were sent to hostels around the UK. Their story is the forgotten final chapter of the Kindertransport scheme.

A few days before #HolocaustMemorialDay let us remember that in the build up to the #Holocaust, many Jewish people were frantically trying to escape Hitler's grasp.
One famous example is the SS St. Louis, a ship that carried 937 people out of Europe - but this proved too many - as nation after nation denied them entry. Most were returned to Europe, and tragically, many of those perished in the Holocaust.
Everyone knew the Jews were scrambling and nobody wanted them. The British often spoke of it - In 1938 Colonel Wedgwood told the UK Parliament to 'throw open the doors' of Palestine before the Jews 'were killed'. david-collier.com/speech-of-colo…

On #HolocaustMemorialDay remember the 11 million people killed by the Nazis in camps due to hatred and bigotry. 6 million Jews were murdered as well as 5 million disabled people, political dissidents, and LGBT people. Let's also remember how this bigotry started & the US role /1
The US ignored many warning signs of anti-Semitism and Fascism in Germany and refused help to Jewish refugees. Many in the US, Europe, and even Germany justified Hitler's rise w/ economic worries and ignored the anti-Semitism and fascism #HolocaustMemorialDay /2
Hitler and the Nazi party capitalized on anti-Semitism as a scapegoat for the interwar economic depression. Their answer was extreme nationalism and bigotry, and fascism #HolocaustMemorialDay /3
