Two senior sabbatical officers from every students’ union at every university and college in Britain will be sent to visit Auschwitz and receive antisemitism training, the Government has announced.
Sajid Javid, the Secretary of State for Housing, Communities and Local Government, told a Holocaust Educational Trust reception: “We all have a duty to speak out in the memory of those who were murdered during the Holocaust and all those, today, who are the subject of hatred and antisemitism. Holocaust education remains one of the most powerful tools we have to fight bigotry.”
In conversations with student unions, CAA has frequently found a lack of understanding of modern antisemitism. With antisemitism at universities at such worrying levels, the Government and the Holocaust Educational Trust should be commended for this initiative.

This is the most ambigious and missleading YWN headline and article of all time!
From where I am sitting it seems like the UK are training a new Fourth Reich of Nazis.
