Eleven survivors of the Holocaust have penned a letter to Nigel Farage, urging him to come clean about alleged statements he made regarding Hitler. Among the group are Hedi Argent, who endured the loss of 27 family members in Nazi camps, and Simon Winston, who witnessed atrocities in the Radzivilov ghetto. The letter, featured in The Guardian, emphasizes that glorifying Hitler, trivializing gas chambers, or spewing racist remarks is unacceptable behavior.
In the missive, the survivors directly question Farage about specific statements attributed to him and call for accountability if proven true. They stress the importance of integrity and truthfulness, particularly from those seeking leadership roles. Farage has faced scrutiny over these claims, with conflicting responses from him and his peers. Despite denials and dismissals, the survivors remain steadfast in their call for honesty and a rejection of antisemitic sentiments.
The signatories urge Farage to reflect on his past actions and take responsibility for any hurtful or offensive remarks made. They emphasize the gravity of promoting unity and denouncing hatred based on race or religion. The letter concludes with a clear message of moral obligation and leaves the decision in Farage’s hands.
