Outrage as pro-Palestine activists stage protest outside Auschwitz
By James Reynolds and Natalie Lisbona, Daily Mail:
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators have sparked outrage after staging a protest near the grounds of Auschwitz – as Israelis including October 7 survivors marched to honour victims of the Holocaust.
Sirens wailed as protestors displayed a banner reading ‘stop genocide’ at groups wearing Israeli flags along the sidelines of the ‘March of the Living’ event, which brings together thousands annually to observe Holocaust Remembrance Day in silence.
Eyewitnesses claimed protestors were ‘chanting’ at participants on the march, with Israelis responding with lines from ‘Am Israel chai’, a Jewish solidarity anthem.
Survivors of Hamas‘ October 7 incursion into southern Israel were also in attendance as participants marched the two-mile (three kilometre) walk from Auschwitz to Birkenau, where approximately one million Jews were systematically killed by Nazi Germany during the Second World War.
Just last week, distressing footage invoked fury as a man filmed himself walking through the Holocaust Memorial Museum in Auschwitz and saying: ‘You belong here. This is your place of origin. You left these camps and ghettos. Long live Palestine.’
