Harry’s nazi uniform insult
The photo capturing Prince Harry dressed in Nazi garb at a party has rightly upset many people … we say Harry’s ignorance shows how important it is to remember the Nazis’ Holocaust and to fight to stop today’s Nazis such as the BNP thru campaigns like LMHR.
Here’s what Unite and the Anti Nazi League had to say:-
UNITE AGAINST FASCISM PRESS RELEASE
Prince Harry and Nazi UniformPrince Harry?s decision to wear a nazi uniform at a fancy dress party was grossly irresponsible. 27 January will be Holocaust Memorial Day and we will be marking the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz, the nazi concentration camp, where more than 1 million Jews were murdered. Prince Harry?s actions are an insult to the 15 million Jews, Slavs, Gypsies, black and disabled people that were killed as a result of the nazi?s murderous policies. After the Second World War, the whole world said never again. Across Europe the far right are polling high votes. Prince Harry?s actions are a worrying sign that racism and fascism is becoming more acceptable. Britain has not been immune to growth of the far right ? far from it. The fascist BNP has already announced that they will be standing in 100 constituencies. Last year the BNP received the highest votes EVER for a fascist party in Britain. When fascists are polling higher results than ever before, members of the monarchy should be distancing themselves from it and condemning it, not wearing their uniform.
ANTI NAZI LEAGUE PRESS RELEASE
Prince Harry has made a big mistake in dressing up in Nazi regalia. To do so is grossly insensitive to the many millions of people whose family members were slaughtered in the Nazis Holocaust.
Moreover, Harrys? actions are highly irresponsible in a world where fascism and Nazi parties are still very much alive. In Europe today the likes of Jean Marie le Pen in France, Mussolini?s granddaughter Alessandra in Italy, and Nick Griffin?s British National Party in the UK have taken up the legacy of Hitler?s Nazis.
The ignorance of these matters displayed by Prince Harry makes it clear that a lot of work needs to be done to educate a new generation of people about the horrors of fascism ? both in terms of what happened in Hitler?s Germany and elsewhere, but also the threat of murderous Nazi ideas and groups returning to the political arena in the here and now.
The systematic industrial murder of millions in the Nazis’ concentration camps - to be commemorated on Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27 - should never be forgotten or made light of.
Never Again.
