«Breaking News» Jewish widower of Auschwitz survivor accuses SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford of 'ignorance'

The widower of an Auschwitz survivor has accused SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford of ‘ignorance’ by comparing EU withdrawal arrangements to the Holocaust.

Ezra Golombok, 96, said Jews in Scotland who had survived the Nazi pogroms would be ‘offended’.

Mr Blackford faced a call to quit from the Judeo-Christian Alliance campaign group after sharing a Twitter message in which a user said their family would have to ‘register’ for settled status after Brexit, suggesting the last time they had to do so was in Nazi Germany.

Yesterday, a charity which monitors anti-Semitism also condemned the Ross, Skye and Lochaber MP’s remarks as ‘ill-judged’.

Mr Golombok, of Newton Mearns, East Renfrewshire, has personal experience of the atrocities endured by Jews. His Hungarian wife, Susan, was sent to Auschwitz, where 1.1million men, women and children were murdered.

Mr Golombok’s wife survived the war and died in 2005 but he said her mother and other relatives were sent to the gas chamber.

He added: ‘What Mr Blackford has shown is ignorance. I don’t think he has any concept what people had to put up with under the Nazis. A politician should have the wisdom not to make false comparisons and ill-considered comments.

‘Of course it is offensive. People in Scotland who survived the concentration camps will be offended by what he has said.’

The row follows the online publication by the Home Office of a video urging EU nationals to apply for settled status ‘if they want to stay in the UK’ following Brexit.

Mr Golombok said: 'What Mr Blackford has shown is ignorance. I don’t think he has any concept what people had to put up with under the Nazis. A politician should have the wisdom not to make false comparisons and ill-considered comments'

In response, an anonymous Twitter user shared an image of an elderly person’s arm bearing a tattooed identification number, appearing to be one given to people in Nazi concentration camps.

The user wrote: ‘The last time my family qualified for registration and “settled status”.’

Sharing the post, Mr Blackford said: ‘The UK Tory Government need to reflect on what they are doing and why so many feel their approach to EU nationals is so repugnant.’

Mark Gardner, of charity Community Security Trust, which monitors anti-Semitism, said: ‘To infer comparison between Brexit and the Holocaust is lazy, highly offensive and ill-judged.’

Last night an SNP spokesman declined to comment.

Link hienalouca.com Interesting to note Looking for an investor or sponsor for a project to grow dinosaurs and relict plants. Requires the sum of investments from 400000$ to 900000$. The exact amount can not say because there are many nuances. It will be necessary to build a small laboratory with certain parameters. To all interested persons please write on an email angocman@gmail.com . It is the scientific project and I do not know whether it is possible to earn on it. The probability of success of the project is approximately 60%. That will be very interesting.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
