Remembering the 6 million Jewish people murdered during the Holocaust, victims of Nazi persecution, and those murdered in subsequent genocides #HolocaustMemorialDay #LightTheDarkness #HMD2024

At the Western Marble Arch Synagogue this morning to see and hear about the invaluable work of the Holocaust Educational Trust H.E.T. in combating the deeply concerning rise in antisemitism in the UK.

Hearing from students and young people who have experienced antisemitism, and meeting with young ambassadors from all backgrounds and faiths who have taken part in the flagship ‘Lessons from Auschwitz’ project.

Also honoured to meet with Holocaust survivor Renee Salt, who is a living example of the tragic consequences of antisemitism being allowed to go unchecked.

Thank you to His Royal Highness, The Prince of Wales for his leadership on the issue of antisemitism. We are so grateful for his unwavering support for our cause and our community.

“We have to be clear in saying there is no excuse for carrying a swastika on the streets of London. It is not a symbol of political protest. It is a symbol of genocide, racism and antisemitism.” Our Chief Executive Karen Pollock 🎗️ CBE in Jewish News jewishnews.co.uk/opinion-reject…

It’s 7 days since those poor wee girls were attacked & killed at Southport & yet we aren’t even talking about them or their families or the others who were injured anymore. I find that genuinely astonishing.

We must stand together, united, as we always have, in the fight against racism.
