Hyde Park officials covered up memorial to six million Jews killed in Holocaust

Scotland Yard was facing yet more anger from Jewish groups on Saturday after a Holocaust memorial was covered up over fears it would be vandalised by pro-Palestine activists.
Officials in Hyde Park yesterday hid Britain’s first public memorial to the six million victims of the Nazi genocide under a blue tarpaulin in a move one Holocaust survivor called ‘shameful’.
The monument was then guarded by Metropolitan Police officers to stop it being targeted by pro-Palestine protesters who marched through London in yet another demonstration against the war in Gaza.
Police chiefs have been urged to halt the almost weekly marches through Central London, which critics warn have turned the capital into a ‘no-go’ area for Jewish people.
Thirteen marches held since the start of the war in October have now cost taxpayers £38.4 million to police.
