Holocaust Trust: Anti-Semitism a 'real poison' in British politics
Anti-Semitism is a "very real poison" in our society and in British politics, according to the Holocaust Educational Trust.
Karen Pollock, the trust's chief executive, said: "If anyone was in doubt before, it is clear that anti-Semitism continues to be a very real poison in our society and sadly in British politics.
"Those who invoke the Holocaust to score political points should be loudly and roundly condemned - this is not the first time that Ken Livingstone has chucked the Holocaust around like political confetti and it will probably not be the last. But to be clear, the deliberate misuse of the history of the Holocaust is anti-Semitism - pure and simple."
