The French foreign minister seems to think that since France was deporting Jews to the camps the British must have been doing it too. After all it was just the thing to do in those days:
Perhaps French Foreign Minister Philippe Douste-Blazy might want to visit Britain for next year’s Holocaust Memorial Day, which is held on January 27. Yesterday’s Ha’aretz reports that Douste-Blazy revealed a shocking lack of knowledge of the Holocaust and European history during a recent visit to Israel’s Holocaust memorial site, Yad Vashem.
The museum, which is an extraordinary achievement in public history, includes detailed maps showing the number of Jews killed in each nation occupied by the Nazis. Douste-Blazy asked why no British Jews were listed as murdered, prompting the museum curator to point out, “But Monsieur le minister, England was never conquered by the Nazis during World War II.”
The Foreign Minister’s response: “Yes, but were there no Jews who were deported from England?”
