Further Information:

Holocaust Memorial Day this week marks the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.Μύ As the killing of six million Jews in Nazi death camps is remembered again, this year it’s against the background of renewed fears within Jewish communities across Europe. The terrorist attack on a kosher supermarket in Paris has heightened anxieties here in Britain, with some schools teaching their children how to respond to an armed assault, and increased security measures around many premises, and a recent poll suggested that anti-Semitism is still a significant problem, with many British Jews so worried that they’re debating whether to stay in this country.ΜύΜύ In All Things Considered, Roy Jenkins asks how serious the issue is here in Wales, as well as the rest of the UK; how anti-Semitism shows itself and if enough is being done to combat it.

Roy’s guests are Angela Levin, a journalist and one of the authors of the report on that poll published by the Campaign Against Anti-Semitism. Rabbi Professor Dan Cohn-Sherbok, of the University of Wales Trinity St David. Professor David Feldman, Director of the Pears Institute for the Study of Anti-Semitism based at Birkbeck, University of London and Rabbi Michoel Rose of the Cardiff United Synagogue.
