Why be surprised? Of course a fashionable student union would not mention that the Holocaust targeted Jews. Sure, gypsies, trade union officials, socialists, communists, pacifists, prostitutes, blacks, gays, lesbians and even “non-Jewish Poles”. But Jews? Is London’s University College Union really to mention them, too?
The University College Union (UCU) has apologised after it left out Jews from a description of the different groups murdered in the Holocaust…
The UCU had sent out an e-mail to branch and local association secretaries, in which chapters of the union were encouraged to observe HMD 2020, which takes place on January 27.
It described how the Nazis had persecuted groups such as “trade unions, including social democrats and Communists”, “Europe’s Roma and Sinti people”, “Black people”, “disabled people”, “freemasons”, “gay and lesbian people”, “Jehovah’s witnesses” and “’asocials’, which included beggars, alcoholics, drug addicts prostitutes and pacifists” were persecuted by the Nazi regime.
It also specifically mentioned “non-Jewish Poles and Slavic POWs”. However, it made no mention of Jews, the primary targets of the Holocaust.
