(JEWISH GROUP) Anne Frank wouldn't Trust this

Make no mistake about it, the Anne Frank Trust UK is an insult to the eponymous Holocaust victim whose name it bears.

The Anne Frank Trust UK has been in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. A week ago they ran an educational workshop. One of the speakers that they platformed was Nasima Begum. She had previously claimed Israel is committing a ‘Holocaust’ against Palestinians and called for ‘death’ to ‘Zionist scum’. She has also been a media officer at the Muslim Council of Britain (MCB) – an Islamist group that has had more than its own share of antisemitic figures. The MCB have previously boycotted Holocaust Memorial Day and the last Labour Government cut ties with them over a refusal to condemn Hamas. The current Government will have nothing to do with them.

Following a backlash, the Anne Frank Trust UK took down their promotional posts about the event. They stated that they would conduct an investigation into how someone who ‘may have views that are not consistent with their values‘ was delivering educational workshops for them. Five days later they issued an apology on Twitter (but not on Facebook).
