On Holocaust Memorial Day [HMD], we will be holding the fourth anti-Zionist memorial meeting commemorating the victims of the Nazi holocaust. The victims include, not just Jews but Roma and Sinti, the Disabled, Gays, Russian prisoners-of-war as well as millions of civilians – in particular Russians and Poles.

The official HMD organisation only recognises Jews as victims of the Holocaust. All other categories are relegated to the status of victims of Nazi persecution.

Under the heading genocide today the HMD site mentions a number of genocides such as when UN human rights investigators accused ISIS of committing genocide against the Yazidis. It cites how years of persecution and cultural repression of Uyghur Muslims in China ‘all bear the hallmarks of genocide’.

The HMD also cites how, in Myanmar,

In January 2020 the International Court of Justice (ICJ) ordered Myanmar to take steps to prevent genocide, in a landmark case filed by The Gambia.

There is only one genocide that the HMD does not recognise. This despite the fact that the ICJ, in its order of 26 January 2026, in the case brought by South Africa found that Israel was plausibly committing genocide in Gaza.

The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry went even further. It found, in a report of September 2025 that Israel was committing genocide against the Palestinians.

So although the HMD is happy to quote the ICJ in respect of the Rohinga and UN Human Rights investigators in the case of the Yazidis, it refuses to acknowledge that both the ICJ and the UN have recognised that Israel is committing genocide.

Palestinian victims of genocide are excluded from the HMD commemorations because the purpose of these events is not to combat racism and imperialism but to reinforce Israel’s claim to inherit the memory of the Jewish victims of the holocaust.

The HMD events do not commemorate any genocide that preceded the Nazi genocide. The slave trade, the Herero-Nama and Armenian genocides, which were the precursor of the Nazi holocaust, go unmentioned.

The hypocrisy of the HMD Trust is no surprise. HMD was set up by Tony Blair, who together with George Bush, was responsible for murdering one million Iraqis in an illegal war.

The Holocaust has become integral to the imperialist narrative and a weapon used to support the Israeli state in its ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Palestinians. The reason for this is that Israel is the projection of western power in the oil rich Middle East. According to Alexander Haig, Ronald Reagan’s Secretary of State

Israel constitutes the largest US aircraft carrier that cannot be sunk, does not carry even one US soldier, and is located in a most critical region for US national security.

An accounting by the western imperialist states of their record during the Nazi holocaust is also conspicuous by its absence. Nowhere is any mention made of the United States and UK refusal to admit to their territories all but a handful of Jewish refugees.

Anthony Eden, the British Foreign Secretary, was concerned that if Britain offered to take in Jewish refugees then: ‘Hitler might well take us up on any such offer.’ [Bernard Wasserstein, Britain and the Jews of Europe, p. 168].

The Cabinet Committee on Jewish Refugees sent a memo to the US State Department on 20 January 1943 warning that:

there is a possibility that the Germans or their satellites may change over from the policy of extermination to one of extrusion.

Fortunately for the Committee Hitler never wavered in his commitment to extermination. The obsession with refugees led to the gas chambers yesterday and today the bottom of the English Channel.

A letter sent by the Ministry of Economic Affairs to US Ambassador Winant in London, explained how:

The Foreign Office are concerned with the difficulties of disposing of any considerable numbers of Jews should they be rescued from enemy-occupied territory...’.[Arthur Morse, While Six Million Died, p. 85., Winant to State Department 15.4.43].

The Silence of the Zionist Holocaust Memorial Organisations

Karen Pollock of Britain’s Holocaust Education Trust is typical of the Zionist holocaust industry in her condemnation of the ‘shameful’ comparisons between the Gaza holocaust and the Nazi genocide. To Pollock drawing universal lessons from the holocaust was something to be avoided.

This set the tone for all the other Zionist run holocaust memorial organisations. Despite telling us that we have to learn the lessons of the holocaust, the only lesson they draw is in teaching that we must defend the Israeli state no matter how many Palestinians they slaughter.

Every single international human rights organisation  has concluded that what has happened in Gaza is a genocide – from Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch, Btselem and the UN to the Lemkin Genocide Institute in its coruscating statement condemning the

the persistent efforts by several high-profile German civil society organizations to deny the ongoing genocide in Gaza and to disseminate disinformation and denialist narratives among German political decision-makers.

It was Raphael Lemkin, a Polish Jewish Lawyer, who first coined the word ‘Genocide’ and was largely responsible for the adoption internationally of the Genocide Convention.

When the Los Angeles Holocaust Museum [LAHM] posted a message on Instagram which featured a drawing of a hexagon formed by six linked arms — with the words ‘Never Again’ Can’t Only Mean Never Again For Jews.’ there was a furious backlash from Zionists. The message was interpreted as referring to Gaza. One commentator wrote that

This post is beyond disgraceful. Whoever created, approved, and posted this should be ashamed of themselves. Our ancestors are rolling in their graves.

Two days later, the museum deleted the post and published an apology. The museum issued a new statement:

We recently posted an item on social media that was part of a pre-planned campaign intended to promote inclusivity and community that was easily open to misinterpretation by some to be a political statement reflecting the ongoing situation in the Middle East. That was not our intent.

The LAHM promised to ‘do better’ next time. ‘Never Again’ in the eyes of Zionists excludes the Palestinian victims of Western imperialism. Never Again only applies to Jews.

Every single holocaust museum and institution has refused to recognise, still less condemn, Israel’s genocide or compare what Israel was doing to the Jewish holocaust.

Yad Vashem and the Silence of the Holocaust Historians

The genocide in Gaza posed a difficulty for Yad Vashem, [YV] Israel’s holocaust museum. Established in 1953 YV’s purpose was to formulate a hegemonic narrative of the Holocaust that would accord with the Zionist paradigm.

How could YV condemn the very state that founded it for perpetrating a genocide? According to YV the holocaust occurred, not because of German imperialism and fascism but because of their eternal hatred of Jews.

Central to this was the foundational myth of Israel as a refuge from anti-Semitism, according to which, if Israel had been in existence, then there would have been no holocaust.

What the Zionist narrative didn’t say was that if the Zionist movement had not existed, more Jews would have survived and possibly the Hitler regime itself would have collapsed or been overthrown.

Rather than seeing the Nazi holocaust as the product of German imperialism and fascism, YV posited a mono-causal explanation – anti-Semitism. Anti-Semitism explained everything: fascism, anti-communism, eugenics, racial hygiene, lebensraum and anti-modernism.

For Zionism anti-Semitism was caused by the Jews:

Where it [anti-Semitism] does not exist, it is carried by Jews in the course of their migrations. We naturally move to those places where we are not persecuted, and there our presence produces persecution. [Herzl, The Jewish State, pp. 14-15].

YV was never an anti-racist or anti-fascist institution. It was a Zionist organisation. YV has rebuffed many invitations in the past to widen its remit and condemn particularly flagrant examples of Israeli and Zionist racism. It was established next to the site of Deir Yassin, the most famous massacre of the Nakba, yet it doesn’t even acknowledge this fact.

Zionist holocaust history fights against universalising the lessons of the holocaust. The Nazi holocaust is unique and Jews are its sole victims. There is only one lesson of the holocaust that Zionism and YV permit and that is the creation and existence of Israel as a Jewish state. If the Holocaust is unique then no lessons can be drawn.

The fact that the Yishuv, Palestine’s Jewish community, was unable to accept more than a fraction of the Jews in danger during the 1930s was conveniently forgotten.

In his address to the 20^th Zionist Congress in August 1937, Chaim Weizmann recalled being asked whether Palestine could accommodate Europe's Jews. He told the delegates that

The old ones will pass, they will bear their fate or they will not. They are dust, economic and moral dust, in a cruel world... Two millions, and perhaps less (will survive) ... We have to accept it.

Zionism was an obstacle to the rescue of Jews. The Zionist movement repeatedly complained that a focus on saving Jewish refugees from the Nazis was a distraction from the main task, which for them was building a Jewish state.

In January 1933 David Ben-Gurion warned that:

‘Zionism… is not primarily engaged in saving individuals’ and that if there was ‘a conflict of interest between saving individual Jews and the good of the Zionist enterprise, we shall say the enterprise comes first.’ [Biography, The Burning Ground, p.855]

YV had no intention of changing when Israel was becoming openly genocidal. When 50 holocaust researchers asked YV to condemn the genocidal statements made by Israeli politicians, military and other public figures, including Israeli government ministers and Prime Minister Netanyahu himself, its Chairman, Dani Dayan refused. 

Dayan asserted that the Israeli army was not conducting a genocide but was acting ‘within the constraints Hamas imposes on us to comply with the proper moral standards and the laws of war.’ One can only assume that the complete destruction of Gaza’s civilian and health infrastructure, to say nothing of the extermination of thousands of Palestinians, are what passes for high moral standards at YV.

Dayan told those who suggested that YV say something about the holocaust in Gaza that:

the outrageous statements you cited do not express the moral position of the very large majority of the Israeli public or the IDF and its commanders.

Yet all the evidence was that the statements cited were very much the position of the IDF and Israeli Jews. The IDF was putting those statements into practice in Gaza whilst he was speaking. YV refused to acknowledge the clear evidence that the extermination of the Palestinians in Gaza was supported by a majority of Israeli Jews.

A March 2025 poll by Penn State University found that 47% of Jewish Israelis agreed with the idea that the Israeli army, when conquering a city, should kill all of its inhabitants, referencing the biblical conquest of Jericho. The poll found that 65% of Israeli Jews believe a modern-day version of Amalek exists and that 93% believe the biblical commandment to “blot out the memory of Amalek” is still relevant. In other words over 60% of Israeli Jews supported exterminating the Palestinians of Gaza.

Another poll from Israeli research group, the aChord Center, found that 76% of Jewish Israelis either fully or partially agreed with the suggestion that none of Gaza's remaining pre-war population were innocent.

The IDF that Dayan praised so highly was the same IDF which set up torture camps for Palestinians, raped to death doctors and which used Palestinian children as target practice.

A poll from Jerusalem’s Hebrew University in June 2025 showed that contrary to Dayan, 64% of Israelis agreed that there are ‘no innocents in Gaza.’ When Israeli Arabs, 92% of whom opposed the statement, are removed then it meant that three out of every four Israeli Jews supported genocide.

Dayan was Secretary-General of the fascist anti-Arab Tehiya party and a candidate on its list to the Knesset in the Israeli elections in 1988 and 1992.

Dayan was also Chairman of the Executive of the Yesha Council, a federation of Jewish settlements in the West Bank. In 2015 Brazil rejected him as Israel’s Ambassador because of his fascist credentials. It is a fitting commentary on Zionism’s memorialisation of the Nazi holocaust that the Chairman of its holocaust remembrance authority is a fascist.

Where YV led, the world’s holocaust organisations followed. Not one holocaust organisation has condemned Israel’s genocide in Gaza. Not one has declared that the lesson of the Nazi holocaust ‘Never Again’ applied to all people, Jewish and non-Jewish, Palestinians included.

That is why, for the fourth year running, we are holding an anti-Zionist commemoration of the Nazi holocaust. Our aim is to challenge the pro-imperialist events as hypocritical virtue signalling. Amongst our speakers will be two Jewish survivors of the holocaust, Stephen Kapos and Suzanne Weiss

Building the Resistance to the IHRA Webinar

The IHRA says that comparing Zionism and Israeli to the Nazi State is anti-Semitic yet today it is the Zionists who compare themselves to the Nazis

Resisting the IHRA 9 May 2025 JNP Webinar

When I published my book Zionism During the Holocaust in October 2022 little could I know that a year later Israel would embark on a live-streamed genocide with Biden, Starmer and Schultz funding and arming Israel in order to complete the extermination of the Palestinians of Gaza.

It is remarkable that all those organisations that make up the Holocaust Industry not only kept silent but they even called those who did  compare it with the Nazi holocaust ‘anti-Semitic’.

Karen Pollock believes comparisons between the Genocide of Palestinians and the Holocaust 'distorts' the memory of the Nazis' victims - far better to use that memory to justify the burning alive of children with their mothers

Prime amongst them was the empty headed trollope from the misnamed Holocaust Educational Trust, Karen Pollock, who whined that ‘modern-day protests on a range of issues, including Gaza, are “trivialising” the Holocaust.’

If there is one thing Zionists hate above all it is comparing the Jewish holocaust to any other genocide or holocaust. To do so is to ‘trivialise’ the murder of 6 million Jews. What happened under the Nazis is unique, a one-off event attributed to the demonic nature of the Nazis. Nothing like it has ever happened before or since.

The Jewish holocaust is beyond history and indeed beyond any explanation. It is inexplicable, demonic, to be attributed to the ‘eliminationist’ mentality of the Germans (Daniel Goldhagen).

Zionism rejects such concepts as fascism, eugenics and selective breeding, racial imperialism or German settler colonialism. As Sybil Milton, the Chief Historian at the US Holocaust Memorial Museum observed:

the validity of the eugenic interpretation does not fit into the arguments of those historians positing anti-Semitism as a central motivation in Nazi policy. The preoccupation with antisemitism as a causative factor has thus limited our ability to see the connections between Nazi ideology, German social policy, and Genocide.

Milton observed that:

The emphasis on antisemitism and the exclusivity of the Jewish fate has, for obvious political reasons, also been the official Israeli interpretation

To Yehuda Bauer, the principal Zionist holocaust historian

The Nazis were ‘a political elite that had come to power with pseudo-messianic concepts of saving humanity from the Jews.

If the Nazis project was messianic, it was quasi-religious, beyond all explanation. To Bauer what determined Nazi policy towards the Roma was their asocial conduct, irrespective of race. Milton’s response was withering:

Defining an entire ethnic group as anti-social and criminal is a classic example of racism. I do not know why Mr. Bauer does not understand this.

Far from trivialising the Holocaust as Pollock believes, comparing it to other genocides such as Gaza helps us understand why it happened. When Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant calls the Palestinians human animals we can but recall the use by Himmler of the same phrase when describing Slavs and non-Aryans to senior SS officers on October 4 1936 in Posnan, Poland. 

What is trivialising the holocaust, indeed mocking the holocaust is when Israelis call for the obliteration and destruction of Gaza and its people. How can we not recall the Nazi destruction of first the Warsaw Ghetto and then Warsaw itself.

By comparing the holocaust in Gaza to the Nazi holocaust we put the murdered Jews of the holocaust back into history rather than exceptionalising them as a freak of history. We take them out of the role that Zionism has created for them of being the reason for the annihilation of others. It is accepting that the 6 million Jews who died were killed for a reason and that they didn't bring it on themselves by refusing to be colonists in Palestine as the Zionist ideologues assert. 

Israeli Producer Demands Gaza Suffers 'HOLOCAUST' - Including Gas Chambers

The IHRA’s 10^th illustration of ‘anti-Semitism’ states that ‘Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis.’ Yet today it is Israelis themselves who draw this comparison.

Elad Barashi is an Israeli media professional affiliated with Channel 14, a far-right television network widely seen as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s favored platform for interviews and messaging. Barashi serves as a researcher and producer on shows such as “Story Night”… https://t.co/dqrUpSZDqT

— Drop Site (@DropSiteNews) May 3, 2025

It has recently come to peoples’ attention that Elad Barashi, a Producer with Israel’s far-right Channel 14, has openly called for a holocaust, including gas chambers, in Gaza.

Men, women, and children—by any means necessary, we must simply carry out a Shoah [Holocaust] against them—yes, read that again—H-O-L-O-C-A-U-S-T! In my view—gas chambers. Train cars. And other cruel methods of death for these Nazis.

One wonders whether Karen Pollock considers that Barashi is trivialising the Holocaust or enhancing it?

Dani Dayan - the Fascist Chair of Yad Vashem - Israel's Holocaust Propaganda Museum

Yad Vashem, Israel’s Holocaust Propaganda Museum refused to condemn the Genocide and even justified it. Its new Director, Dani Dayan, used to the Secretary General of the Teyiha Fascist Party.

Barashi is not a freak or an exception. Strangely enough his remarks haven’t been quoted by one single western newspaper. However if a Hamas spokesman had made such a comment it would be made the headlines. In 2023 we had sweet Israeli school children calling for the ‘annihilation’ of the people of Gaza. It was titled the Friendship Song.

Amichai Eliyahu and the need to starve the Palestinians 

We have had senior politicians like Nissim Vaturi, Bezalel Smotrich and Amichai Eliyahu calling for the murder of every adult in Gaza, for the destruction of Gaza and the starving of Gaza. These are Nazi like statements from Judeo-Nazis yet the IHRA says that to call them what they are is anti-Semitic.

Death by Hunger was the Nazi policy for Russia and the Jewish ghettos yet the Zionists call such a comparison 'anti-Semitic'. It is as if anti-Semitism has become a statement of truth.  But in reality the Zionists and the anti-Semites were always hand in glove.

The webinar consisted of a series of talks around the IHRA, which has been used to silence debate on the genocidal nature of the Israeli state. It has been adopted by the right and the far-right as part of the weaponisation of anti-Semitism. Our task is to call to account the cowards in universities who are complicit in its adoption, in particular the Vice-Chancellors who gave way to the toilet salesman who was promoted to Education Secretary, Gavin Williamson. It was Williamson with his threat to university funding, much like Trump which led to the abject surrender and sacrificing of free speech by most universities.

In my own contribution I picked up on Ilan Pappe's reference to Chomsky's belief in the responsibility of intellectuals. I observed that a perhaps more pertinent reference would be that of George Orwell who wrote in his essay on The Freedom  of the Press that in this country 'intellectual cowardice is the worst enemy a writer or journalist has to face.’

We see that in the universities of North America where Columbia has become a transmission belt for the Trump Administration with barely a protest from its academic staff. I noted that the Christian-Jewish academic Victor Klemperer, (he converted to Protestantism in 1912 but in Germany being Jewish was a racial not religious question as it is in Israel). He was sacked from teaching in Nazi Germany in 1935 and he noted in his diaries that the only person to say goodbye to him was the cleaner.  His academic colleagues stayed away.

But at least German academics had good reason to fear reprisals from the Nazi state. What is the excuse for the cowardice of British academics who have said virtually nothing about the IHRA or the silence of their union the UCU?

Listen to the recording of Holocaust Memorial Day Webinar 2025

 The Refusal of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust to Include the Gaza Genocide in their Festivities Demonstrates that our Rulers Have Learnt Nothing from Auschwitz

Holocaust Memorial Day Webinar 2025

The Holocaust memorial day meeting that the Socialist Labour Network, Jewish Network for Palestine and Scottish Palestine Solidarity Campaign held on 27 January 2025 was the best attended and the most successful we have ever had in the three years we have been holding these.

693 people registered for the meeting and over 60% of them attended. Normally attendance is little over 50% of those registered. The largest number of people watching at any time was 388 but the maximum number of people who did watch was 428.  Many people contacted us to say that they couldn’t attend but that they wanted to see a recording. So here it is!

Attended                           424                                      61.2%

Didn’t Attend                  269                                      38.8%

Registered       Cancelled          Unique Viewers        Max Concurrent Views

693                     4                           428                                388

 

We are told by the BBC and our rulers that we must learn the lessons of the Holocaust. Below is a picture of the Official Hypocrites including Chief Rabbi Mirvis, a rabid settler trained racist and an enthusiastic supporter of Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

King Charles said that

The Holocaust must never be allowed to become a simple fact of history...the lessons of the Holocaust are relevant today.’ however this  pompous fool  refrained from telling us what these lessons were.  Perhaps because that might expose  the hypocrisy at the centre of the official festivities.

Britain’s Holocaust Memorial Day Trust excluded the Gaza Genocide from all mention of the Holocaust. In its FAQs it asked ‘Should I acknowledge the conflict in the Middle East in my HMD activity? And if so, how?’ Its answer was simple: ‘We do not recommend it.’ Thus is demonstrated the moral bankruptcy of the official celebrations, because that is really what they are – a celebration of imperialism.

The advice of the HMD is no surprise when people like the President of the Genocide supporting Board of Deputies, Phil Rosenberg, sits on the HMD board. The Jewish Chronicle and the right-wing press got all worked up by the Islamic Human Rights Commission call to boycott their celebrations.

The Telegraph had one of its normal moral fits at the suggestion that the HMD might include all genocides in HMD, including the Palestinian holocaust. It quoted the Zionist propagandist and CEO of the Holocaust Educational Trust, the morally bankrupt Karen Pollock, as saying that:

Just days before we mark Holocaust Memorial Day... we are appalled to see that the Islamic Human Rights Commission continue this tasteless campaign to undermine such a significant day.

Their cynical attempt to denigrate the memory of the Holocaust by drawing false parallels between the Holocaust – a unique and unprecedented episode in history – and unrelated current events, will not succeed.

Hind when she graduated from senior kindergarten - cruelly  butchered by Israel

Quite how the memory of those who died in the holocaust is ‘denigrated’ by comparing their deaths to those in Gaza is difficult to comprehend. Is the death of a Jewish child in Auschwitz any different from that of Hind Rajab, who was murdered because an Israeli tank fired a shell at her and the two paramedics who came to rescue her? 

Ukrainian Police Auxiliaries

The disgusting racist, Karen Pollok, called the Gaza genocide an ‘unrelated current event.’ If anyone is defiling and denigrating the memory of the largely anti-Zionist Jews who died in the holocaust it is Pollok. But then she is CEO of a Zionist holocaust industry organisation whose sole purpose is to harness the holocaust to the Israeli state’s apartheid existence.

The Genocide of Palestinians is different according to Pollok and whatever we do we mustn’t compare. Zionists hate comparisons because they know that the actions of Israel can only be defended by pretending that Israel is unique, being a ‘Jewish’ state that doesn’t have to operate according to the norms of civilised society. Once you compare Israel’s behaviour to others then you cannot help but notice that Israel is a rogue state, barbaric and racist in its determination to effect ethnic cleansing and not at all bothered by the numbers it kills.

So what are the lessons that Pollok, Rosenberg, Mirvis et al intend us to learn?  That Israel, Hitler’s posthumous victory, must be given more bombs and bullets in order that it can perpetrate more genocides and finish the job. This is Zionist  morality.

Israel has killed up to 300,000 Palestinian men, women and children, the International Court of Justice has said that a genocide is plausibly taking place yet the imperialist narrative demands that Israel’s genocide be treated as ‘self defence’.

Our war criminal ruling class, not least the German State, uses the holocaust to reinforce their genocidal narrative by claiming that Israel is the inheritor of the memory of the Jews who died. These are the lessons they draw from the holocaust.

‘Although Israel claims to represent the memory of the Jews who died in the holocaust the reality is that Israel has inherited the memory and stepped into the shoes of those who killed them.’

It is a great pity that the IHRC fell into the trap that was laid for them. Instead of simply boycotting HMD they should have actively promoted our own meeting and thus shown that they had something to say about the holocaust.

This webinar refused to be part of the official festivities because that is what they really were. They were not a commemoration. Representatives from Israel and all the imperialist states – the United States, Britain and Germany – who are supplying Israel with the means to annihilate the Palestinian people were present.

Yet strangely enough the very state which bore the brunt of the Nazi war machine and which liberated Auschwitz, Russia, was not present. Instead Volodymyr Zelensky, leader of the Ukrainian police state, which celebrates a national holiday each year on the birthday of Nazi collaborator Stepan Bandera was invited. Bandera was the leader of the Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN-B) whose members, in their role as the Ukrainian Auxiliary Police, participated in the massacre of 33,000 Jews at Babi Yar, Kyiv on September 29-30 1941.

Baby Yar Memorial

Babi Yar was the largest Nazi massacre of Jews up to that date and one of the largest of the war.  Bandera’s Ukrainian Insurgent Army was heavily involved in massacres of Jews, Poles and Roma.

Speakers at the webinar were Stephen Kapos, a Jewish child survivor who was hidden in Budapest during the Hungarian Holocaust; Suzanne Weiss, a Jewish child survivor who was hidden in Auvergne in France by the Communist resistance; Ghada Karmi, a child survivor of the Nakba in Palestine when Zionist militias ethnically cleansed the native Palestinians to create their Jewish state, Rania Khalek, a Lebanese journalist who directs Breakthrough News; Ronny Kasrils, the Jewish former commander of Umkonte we Sizwe, the ANC's military wing and former MP in Nelson Mandela's first government and Tony Greenstein, the first Jewish member of the Labour Party to be expelled under Corbyn and author of 'Zionism During the Holocaust'. Tariq Ali, who was due to speak, was unfortunately ill and couldn't make it.

The Zionists and their imperialist backers use the Nazi holocaust of the Jews as a justification for Israel’s holocaust in Gaza.   We draw the opposite conclusion which is why we held this webinar. The official state ceremonies draw no anti-racist or anti-fascist conclusions.
