Holocaust Survivors Demand Nigel Farage to Make Amends Over Alleged Anti-Jewish Statements.
A group of Holocaust survivors has called for that Nigel Farage be honest and apologise for reported anti-Jewish abuse attributed to him toward Jewish students during his school days.
The political party leader has claimed he never insulted anyone with deliberate cruelty, suggesting it may have been mere "childish teasing".
"As Shoah survivors, we comprehend the profound danger of words of hatred – because we have experienced firsthand where such words can lead," stated the survivors in a letter.
"Let us be clear: praising Hitler, mimicking gas chambers, or directing racial slurs is not simple joking. Not on a schoolyard. Not under any circumstances."
An Unequivocal Demand
The letter asks blunt questions to the public figure: "Is it true you said ‘Hitler was right’ and ‘gas them,’ accompanied by mimicking gas chambers? Did you expose your classmates to antisemitic abuse?"
The Signatories
The group of 11 survivors contains individuals with harrowing personal stories from the Nazi genocide.
- Hedi Argent, who saw the murder of 27 members of her family.
- Simon Winston, who was confined to a ghetto before fleeing in 1942 and spending the rest of the war in hiding.
- Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, who was imprisoned at Auschwitz-Birkenau and later transferred to Bergen-Belsen, where she was liberated.
Other signatories include Janine Webber, Edith Jayne, Helen Aronson, Ruth Barnett, John Fieldsend, Susan Pollack, Hanneke Dye and Agnes Kaposi.
Mounting Testimony
This action follows the characterisation of related accounts by more than several dozen alumni and teachers as "complete fiction" by a high-ranking official.
Following the publication, more contemporaries have spoken out. Twenty-eight ex-students and educators now state they saw racist or antisemitic behaviour by him.
One notable account comes from Peter Ettedgui, a Jewish award-winning director, who said that a young Farage would approach him and say the phrases "Hitler was right" and "gas them", at times adding a prolonged hissing sound to simulate the sound of poison gas.
A Broader Pattern
Additional alumni from minority ethnic backgrounds have also spoken publicly with allegations of targeted insults.
- Cyrus Oshidar stated he was called a "Paki" and has rejected the idea that such actions were without intent.
- Another individual with Asian roots described him as an "blatant racist" who would use the phrase "Enoch Powell was right" as a form of "ethnic harassment".
The Ultimate Question
The final appeal poses a final dilemma to Farage: "If you deny saying those words, do you mean that 20 former classmates and teachers are lying? Should the allegations be true, now is the opportunity to acknowledge you were wrong and apologise."
"Individuals who hope to lead our country should never divide people by ethnicity or faith. Anti-Jewish bigotry must never be normalised. This moment is about ethical duty. The choice is your own, Mr Farage."
