Two UK organisations supporting Jewish refugees who fled the Nazis have condemned the Illegal Migration Bill and the government's language around it.
In a rare political intervention, The Wiener Holocaust Library and the Association of Jewish Refugees (AJR) have written a joint statement, published by openDemocracy, calling for all governments to “demonstrate compassion and give safe harbour to those in danger.”
“Both organisations are increasingly concerned about the impact of the government’s proposed Illegal Migration Bill and the discourse and language surrounding its formulation,” said Wiener Holocaust Library director Dr Toby Simpson and AJR CEO Michael Newman.
