Rabbi Ephraem Mirvis warns against all forms of racism

The Irish Times yesterday carried an article by Oliver Sears, titled ‘Remembering Holocaust once a year is not enough’.

In the piece, Sears quotes Primo Levi, who said: “The Holocaust happened and it can happen again.”

He also quotes that famous line from Theodore Adorno: “…to write poetry after Auschwitz is an act of barbarism.”
