HMD Trust refuses to publicise meeting with Auschwitz survivor
It is truly shocking that the official HMD website is censoring all publicity for the 2010 Holocaust commemoration meetings where Hajo Meyer, a survivor of the Nazi death camp at Auschwitz, will speak of his experiences and call for solidarity with the besieged and violated people of Gaza.

Never Again: For Anyone PDF Print E-mail
Tuesday, 05 January 2010 21:05

Hajo Meyer outside Edinburgh Sheriff Court with two of the five Scottish PSC activists accused of 'racially aggravated conduct' for supporting the Palestinian call for boycott, divestment and sanctions.

Meyer, who is in Scotland this week as part of a speaking tour, described the complaint as “ridiculous”. Said Meyer, “While Israel continues its occupation and oppression of the Palestinian people, it is our duty to criticise it. This racism charge is ridiculous.

“It worries me that while Palestinians are humiliated and discriminated against every day, western leaders including Gordon Brown not only appease Israel, they support it. Unfortunately, it appears as though the prosecutors too are taking sides with Israel.”

Meyer survived almost a year in the notorious Nazi death camp after being caught by the Gestapo in 1944. It is estimated that of the 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, around 1 million died in Auschwitz.

 
The late Alistair Hulett sings about Leonard Cohen breaking the boycott PDF Print E-mail
Thursday, 04 February 2010 16:46

Way too long in the Tower of Song.

Alistair played this at a gig in the Royal Oak in Edinburgh n Aug 2009. After the gig, he offered to record this for the Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign who were trying to convince Leonard Cohen to pull out of his planned gig in Tel Aviv, Israel.

Cohen went on to break the boycott.

 What a beautiful song. What a beautiful man. He passed away in Jan 2010; he will be sorely missed.

But he will never be forgotten, and his spirit and determination live on in songs like this.


And this song about the Spanish fight against Franco's fascism, and the internationals who joined the fight.
