    Thread: Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay - on Jan 27th 1945, Soviet troops liberated Auschwitz-Birkenau. In a few short years, 5-6 million Jews were systematically murdered, alongside millions of Poles, Russians, & minorities. Yet #antisemitism now remains an insidious issue (1/8)pic.twitter.com/7gR7kNRvq4

        ..there had long been pogroms against Jews, from Alexandria in the 1st century to Russia in the 19th. In middle ages, Jews were accused of poisoning wells, & abducting children. But more enduring is the myth that Jews "control" the world, the media, or the banking system (2/8)pic.twitter.com/LSEbqLOzv9

        ..The toxic idea of a Judeo-Masonic conspiracy theory became popular with European / Russian far right in late 19th century. This was exemplified by the publication of perhaps the most infamous hoax in literary history; the protocols of the elders of Zion (3/8)pic.twitter.com/sLv3vgpQNJ

        ..this forged text purported to be a manifesto for Jewish control of the world. It was a complete hoax, most likely the handiwork of the Russian secret service to create bad feeling towards (mainly poor) Jews in the regions they had annexed. But its influence travelled far (4/8)pic.twitter.com/kXhQSQqvhJ

        ..while exposed as a fraud by 1920s, it didn't quell its propagation. Henry Ford had 500,000 copies distributed throughout the USA. Nazis often endorsed the Protocols as propaganda against Jews. To this day, it remains popular in some quarters. And its influence remains (5/8)pic.twitter.com/mBvw4pdB6v

        ..after defeat of Germany in the first world war, the far right contingent looked for a scapegoat. Thus was born the Dolchstoßlegende, the stab-in-the-back-myth. As I explain in my book #TheIrrationalApe, Jews were again demonised by Nazi orthodoxy (6/8)pic.twitter.com/r5KRk5ZfKi

        ..and yet, even today, not uncommon to hear the persistent canard that Jews (or sometimes "Zionists") control the media, finance, even the world. This is naked #Antisemitism - it reduces Jews to a sinister homogeneous group, & echos the hatred of the past. Don't accept it (7/8)pic.twitter.com/5ruht9w3cs

        Anti-Jewish murmurings are sadly not uncommon, but we should never ignore them - they're a canary in a coalmine for a lot of other hateful, conspiratorial beliefs. We must always take #Antisemitism seriously, & never even implicitly tolerate it. Worth remembering this day (8/8)pic.twitter.com/JD0kkXj9c6

        The number is NOT 5-6 million. IT IS 6 MILLION. What is wrong with you? And on #HolocaustMemorialDay yet? @yadvashem @AuschwitzMuseum @Takethatdoctors

        What's wrong with me? Could ask you same question. The precise numbers are unknown. It's somewhere between about 5.1 - 6 million, and that's from @yadvashem whom you've tagged in. No matter what, it's a horrific figure. https://www.yadvashem.org/archive/hall-of-names/database/faq.html …pic.twitter.com/S6jIXgeZXZ
