He is not alone. I am a 73 year old survivor of the Holocaust who is terrified of Corbyn moving into No. 10. My parents brought me to England in 1946 because they thought it was a safe and fair country. What would they say if they were alive to see this?

Meghan talks about 'her pain and suffering'. I think of my mother in the Budapest Ghetto in the winter of 1944/5. Having almost no food, she breastfed me & kept me warm in the bitter cold with Hungarian fascists taking shots at the Jews. She knew about pain & suffering. (Revised)

Exactly. If Israel had existed in the 1930s the Holocaust would not have happened because the Jews would have had somewhere safe to go. Most countries slammed their doors shut to them and they were murdered by the Nazis.
