Yesterday, at the annual nut-fest that is the NUS conference, delegates applauded speakers who argued against Holocaust commemoration. In response to a proposal that students’ unions should help organise events for Holocaust Memorial Day every year, one speaker said marking the Holocaust is not “inclusive”.

“I am against the NUS ignoring and forgetting other mass genocides and prioritising others," said Darta Kaleja from Chester University. “When during my education was I taught about the genocides in Tibet or Rwanda? It is important to commemorate all of them.”

Another speaker graciously said “of course there shouldn’t be anti-Semitism”, but “it’s not about one set of people”. So commemorating the Holocaust gives too much attention to Jews. What about the victims of other atrocities?
