A new report by the group Parents Against Antisemitism has revealed a shocking snapshot of antisemitism in our schools.
Among the examples provided by a mainly Jewish group of 100 parents are:

* During a Drama lesson the
teacher led an activity with
the only Jewish child in the
class being surrounded by
peers giving him Nazi salutes
which led to this being re-
enacted as bullying in the
playground.
* Multiple examples of Jewish
students being told they or
all Jews should be gassed,
including using bunsen
burners in Science lessons as
a prop, being subjected to
hissing noises, or suggesting
they go on the “wrong train
to Poland”.
* One child was told “1,2,3 Jew
run or I’ll gas you”. Another
was told “I want to build a
gas chamber and chain up all
Jews”.
* Swastikas, or ‘kill the Jews’
are being daubed on class
tables, Jewish students’
notebooks or in student
toilets. In one example of
graffiti in a cubicle stating
“Follow your dreams” a
student added “My mum
says I can't be Adolf Hitler”.
* A Jewish child was asked
where his number was
tattooed.
* Hitler salutes and jokes
about the Holocaust are commonplace.

* Many are told “Hitler was right” and one child was physically assaulted after their attacker performed a Hitler salute.
* One primary school child
was sent a picture of Hitler
accompanied by the caption
“6 million victory".
* Hitler Youth songs are being
sung that are found on social
media and a Jewish teacher
was told by a student that
they “liked Hitler”.
* On Culture Day when a child
showed an Israeli flag she
was booed and the teacher
took no action. Another
child was told Jews have “no
culture because they are
white”.
* Blood libels such as: “Jews
kill and eat children”, “You
can’t trust Jews”, “Jews are
all rich”, “Jews are
paedophiles”, “Jews control
the world and media” are
repeatedly targeted in
person against Jewish
students and teachers and
are widespread.
* A child who wore a piece of
jewellery identifying her as
Jewish was kicked to the
ground.
* One child was threatened
with being beheaded “as all
Jews deserve”.
* Sixth Form students
declared that “It isn't
antisemitic to suggest Jews
are rich. It's just true”.
* A 9 year old child was asked
if he was Jewish and upon
responding affirmatively was
told to “lock his house”
because it would be
attacked.
* At a Church of England
primary school a Jewish
child was told “Jews and
Christians can’t play
together” and that “Jews
would be punished”.
* A Jewish child was told
“I’m going to kill you, you
F***ing Jew” (whilst being
chased with a weapon and
threatened with being
thrown from a large height).
* A Jewish student was
followed by a 14 year old
peer who shouted “F*** the
Jews, kill the Jews”.
* Students openly celebrated
the Manchester synagogue
attack.
* Derogatory remarks and
racial slurs are regularly
used, for example,
“Jew
scum”, “Kike”, “F*** all Yids”,
“You People”.
* Jewish children are being forced to confirm that they support Palestine.
* A Jewish primary school
child was told “You are a pig
because you are Jewish”.
* A student threw a coin on
the floor and asked a Jewish
student if they dropped it
and if they wanted it. When
the Jewish student went to
take it, the other student-said “Of course, money grabbing Jew”.
* Children (in primary and
secondary level) are being
openly excluded socially due
to being Jewish.
* Jewish teachers are targeted by students including being
told “F*** the Jews” and that
they are responsible for
Gaza and 9/11.
* ‘Free Palestine” chants are
shouted at Jewish children
and parents, and Palestine
flags and symbols openly
displayed and targeted at
Jews.
* Rumours were spread about
the only Jew in the year that
this child wants to bomb
Muslim houses.
* A 5 year old Jewish child
was told by his friends that-he was “killing all the babies”. The child
was then excluded from
class birthday parties and
eventually left to go to a
Jewish school.

The play's pertinent themes of finding kindness in places of hatred, resonated with the audience. Some of the schools held a Q and A with actors Maya, Christian, May and Sam, and students were able to ask questions about the Holocaust, their characters and antisemitism.

[VoicesoftheHolocaust @Voices_news]

Last week, our wonderful cast and company performed 'Kindness' to students at #schools - ACS International School Cobham , Avonbourne Academy and Colne Community School. Year 8- 13 students watched the spellbinding play- the story of Susan Pollack OBE.
