Australian lawmaker proposes motion apologizing for failure to act during Holocaust
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAn Australian lawmaker has proposed a motion in parliament that would oblige the government to apologize for its failure to assist Jewish refugees in the years leading up to the Holocaust.
“Our nation’s government turned its back on our Jewish friends at the exact time they needed us. Our parliament said nothing,” Stuart Robert tells parliament in a special session according to News 9.
He says Australia’s refusal to accept Jewish refugees from Europe in 1938 contributed to the Holocaust’s enormous death toll.
The Australian parliament will debate issuing the apology at a later date.
