A GREENS MP has been accused of trivialising the Holocaust by spreading an “appalling” meme comparing the US to Nazi Germany.
Tamara Smith has been told to go back to her history books after posting a bizarre and offensive picture juxtaposing the US under Donald Trump and Adolf Hitler’s evil regime.
The meme, which purports to show the children of illegal immigrants being detained by US authorities while their parents’ cases are processed, compares the youngsters to concentration camp victims huddling behind barbed wire in a Nazi death camp.
The Ballina MP was forced into an embarrassing backdown yesterday and deleted the image after she was questioned by The Daily Telegraph — but did not apologise.

NSW Jewish Board of Deputies chief executive Vic Alhadeff condemned the post.
