@Holocaust_Irl @simonmontefiore @StateSEAS @Freedland @kessler_ed @Fathom_Editor @faniaoz @simon_schama @CAMERAorg @WorldJewishCong @daverich1 Thank you for highlighting this to us. This title certainly isn't part of our curated stock & has not been actively ordered for the shop. We're investigating how it ended up on our shelves. It has been removed & staff made fully aware. We apologise for the offence this has caused
