In response to Jeremy Corbyn’s statement on comments he made in 2012 regarding Kalen Ockerman’s mural being removed, Karen Pollock MBE, Chief Executive, Holocaust Educational Trust, said:
“The mural was blatantly antisemitic using images commonly found in antisemitic propaganda - it is impossible not to notice. It was indefensible then and indefensible now. If as he says, Mr Corbyn is against all forms of racism, why does his stance on antisemitism always fall short? As an organisation dedicated to teaching where antisemitism and hatred ultimately lead, we expect our politicians, and particularly Leaders, to take a strong, clear, irrefutable stand. Enough is enough.”
