Another round: Holocaust survivor criticises Government rhetoric on asylum seekers
The interview you’re listening to, with Holocaust survivor Uri Winterstein, is published on Holocaust Memorial Day. It marks 78 years since Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated by the Soviets and remembers the millions of people, including 6 million Jews, who were murdered in the Holocaust - and in the genocides that followed. Uri Winterstein shares his testimony in schools and colleges across the UK through the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Outreach Programme, ensuring that everyone everywhere has the opportunity to learn about the Holocaust, and to understand contemporary antisemitism.
