The summer of 1950 saw Labour abandon further nationalisation while escalating Korean War spending from £2.3m to £4.7m, as the government meekly accepted capitalism’s licence and became Washington’s yes-man, writes JOHN ELLISON
MOST of us are familiar with the story of Anne Frank, the Dutch teenager who hid with her family and other Jews in an Amsterdam attic during Nazi occupation, before being denounced to authorities and arrested. Anne, along with her sister and parents and the others hiding with them, were deported to the death camps. Only Anne’s father, Otto Frank, survived.
No-one is quite certain who denounced the Franks, but their fate was not dissimilar to that of countless other Jews during World War II, who were turned in not only by supporters of the Nazi regime, but also by colleagues, neighbours and even people they trusted and considered their friends. Some betrayed for money, others out of hate, fear or prejudice.
Today, much to the shock and dismay of many in the Jewish community both in the US and abroad, a radical zionist group is denouncing people guilty of no other crime than opposing a genocide and is submitting their names to the US government on what it calls its “deport list.”
