Don’t stay silent over racial discrimination, warns Holocaust survivor who lost five family members

A Holocaust survivor has warned Britons to be vigilant against antisemitism as the country marks Holocaust Memorial Day by remembering the genocide of six million Jews during the Second World War.

John Dobai, 89, survived the war as a child in Budapest, Hungary but lost five family members - two grandfathers, two aunts and a cousin, who was just 17.
