UK University and College Union Omits Jews from List of Holocaust Victims
(Jewish Chronicle-UK) Daniel Sugarman - Britain's University and College Union (UCU) has apologized after it left out Jews from a description of the different groups murdered in the Holocaust. A mailing in advance of Holocaust Memorial Day described how the Nazis had persecuted "trade unions, including social democrats and Communists," "Roma and Sinti people," "Black people," "disabled people," "freemasons," "gay and lesbian people," "Jehovah's witnesses," "asocials, which included beggars, alcoholics, drug addicts, prostitutes and pacifists," and "non-Jewish Poles and Slavic POWs." However, it made no mention of the systematic murder of six million Jews, the primary target of the Holocaust.
