Talk by Holocaust survivor attacked for ‘anti-semitism’
Israeli officials declare Jewish survivor’s speech against apartheid “anti-semitic hate speech”
Manchester University censored a speech by a Holocaust survivor after Israeli officials decided it was “anti-semitic hate speech,” freedom of information requests have revealed.
Marika Sherwood, a Jewish survivor of the Budapest ghetto, was due to give a talk at Manchester University in March this year about Israel’s treatment of Palestinians — titled You’re Doing to the Palestinians What the Nazis Did to Me — until the embassy stepped in.
She was booked as part of Israeli Apartheid Week, organised by a student committee of the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) campaign.
