SWP Write the Jews out of the Holocaust
Courtesy of AWL:
The author evidently thought that some readers might not know what “the Holocaust” was. So she or he defined it: “the holocaust, where thousands of LGBT people, trade unionists, and disabled people were slaughtered”.
End of definition. Jews too? No mention of that.It cannot actually be that the SWP wants to appeal to people who may consider it all right that Hitler killed six million Jews, but think it too much that he also killed LGBT people, etc.
Or that the SWP itself considers that the killing of Jews was not an important, or not an objectionable, part of the Holocaust.
On some level, surely, that clause in the statement must be a slip, a mishap. But for such a slip to pass unnoticed through writer, typesetter, printer, organisers, and distributors, without anyone at any stage picking it up, must say something.
No mention of Jews, and the number of dead reduced from Six Million to a few thousand. Don’t mention the war comrade.

Don't mention the Jews, Comrade
