Council blasted for Holocaust remembrance with no Jewish speakers

An Oxford historian has criticized Lowestoft Town Council for not inviting any Jewish speakers to a major Holocaust remembrance event, accusing them of 'appropriating' the suffering of Jews. Professor Lawrence Goldman called the council's sympathy for Jewish loss insincere and insulting. The event was also marred by a row over a councillor's reference to the conflict in Gaza, which critics deemed inappropriate. The council organized two other gatherings, but no Jewish representatives were present at any of the events. The council claims its commemorations this year were the largest yet.
