In Prime Minister’s Questions this week, Prime Minister Boris Johnson underlined that the Government “want to do absolutely everything we can to stamp out the resurgence of antisemitism”.
CFI Vice-Chairman Andrew Percy had asked the Prime Minister whether he agreed “with the Holocaust Educational Trust, which says that, welcome though they are, signatures in books are not as valuable as action? Will he commit to more action to stamp out antisemitism and all intolerance in this country?”
Prime Minister Johnson affirmed in his response that he will be commemorating Holocaust Memorial Day, at the end of this month, which will mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
He said: “As someone who is now 55 years old, I find it absolutely incredible that antisemitism is rising again in this country in the 21st century. It is a disgrace, and we must stamp it out”.
