Never Again For Anyone
Tour Moves from UK and Ireland to Continental Europe
Friday, February 05, 2010
IJAN and the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign just completed a ten-day, nine-city "Never Again for Anyone" tour in England, Scotland and Ireland with Hajo Meyer, an 85-year old survivor of Auschwitz, and with Haidar Eid, from Gaza via video and telephone. The tour reached over 1200 people with most events attended by 100-150 people. Eid and Meyer received a standing ovation at each.

On January 27th, Holocaust Memorial Day, the event was held at the House of Commons in London with two Members of Parliament chairing. In addition to Eid and Meyer, there was testimony given by representatives from nine different communities impacted by genocide and ethnic cleansing-from the Roma and Armenian communities to the Sri Lankan resistance movement to those organizing for disability rights and for reparations for the African slave trade in the UK.
The tour now continues on to continental Europe with events planned for Paris, Lyon, Strausberg, Vienna, Geneva and possibly Berlin.
