Shanelle Cartwright has shared several Instagram posts from Taylor Winterstein – wife of former NRL star Frank Winterstein – comparing the plight of anti-vaccination advocates to Jews during the Holocaust.
On Friday evening, Shanelle posted an image of Holocaust victim Anne Frank with the caption: “The people who hid Anne Frank were breaking the law, the people who killed her were following it.”
Despite some backlash, Cartwright didn’t back down on her assertion, sharing more Holocaust posts on Tuesday.
One Instagram post said: “Remember, it didn’t start with gas chambers. It started with politicians diving the people with ‘us vs them’. It started with intolerance and hate speech and when people stopped caring, became desensitised and turned a blind eye.”
Another read: “Every genocide starts with hate. I pray to God we don’t end up in a horrific place like that. Please recognise though, we are being divided and conditioned to hate and perceive others in a way similar to how their foundation was laid.”
