Join the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign & the International Jewish Anti-Zionist Network for a UK tour with

Hajo Meyer, Auschwitz survivor & Palestine solidarity activist. 

Dr. Hajo G. Meyer was born in 1924 in Bielefeld, Germany. Not allowed to attend school there after November 1938, he fled to the Netherlands, alone. In I944, after a year in the underground, he was caught and subsequently survived 10 months at Auschwitz. He lives in the Netherlands, where he works as publicist and essayist. A member of IJAN, Hajo Meyer is on the board of the Dutch group “A Different Jewish Voice”, part of the coalition of European Jews for Just Peace. He is the author of three books, on Judaism, Holocaust and Zionism.

 ‘My great lesson from Auschwitz is: whoever wants to dehumanise any other, must first be dehumanised himself. The oppressors are no longer really human whatever uniform they wear.’  read interview with Hajo Meyer

 

Also with
Dr Haidar Eid, independent political commentator and activist residing in Gaza.

"Archbishop Desmund Tutu of South Africa said, "If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor." The UN, EU, Arab League and the international community by and large have remained silent in the face of atrocities committed by Apartheid Israel. They are therefore on the side of Israel. Hundreds of dead corpses of children and women have failed to convince them to act. This is what every Palestinian knows today -- whether on the streets of the Gaza Strip, the West Bank or refugee camps in the Diaspora."  read full article


21-30 January 2010: Scotland, England and Ireland - Scottish meetings in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Dundee

On January 27, Holocaust Remembrance Day, leading politicians from the U.S. and Europe will join in honouring the memory of Jews killed in the Nazi genocide. Yet the immensity of that tragedy is dishonoured by the hypocrisy of the ceremonies: those who pay homage to the victims of yesterday’s silence are silent about today’s inhumanity. We say, “Never again!” For anyone. Never again for the people of Gaza. Never again for all those struggling against dehumanization, racism and genocide everywhere, every day.
