The Holocaust Centre of New Zealand is calling for anti-lockdown protestors to stop misuing the Holocaust and the Star of David. At anti-lockdown and anti-vaccination rallies New Zealand’s Covid-19 restrictions and vaccination mandates have been compared to the Holocaust by protestors. News and Editorial Director Jemima Huston interviews the Chair of the Holocaust Centre of New Zealand Deborah Hart about why this comparison is insensitive and wrong. They discuss how the inclusion of Holocaust related terms in anti-lockdown protests have impacted New Zealand's Jewish community and why the right to protest does not give you the right to appropriate the industrialised genocide of six million Jews.
