Lily Ebert, one of the last remaining survivors from Auschwitz-Birkenau, told Sky News that she believes the Holocaust could happen again.<\/p>\n

The 100-year-old was 20 years old when she was deported from her hometown in Hungary to the concentration camp.<\/p>\n

Her mother, and younger sister and brother, were killed by Nazis in gas chambers.<\/p>\n

Speaking to Sky News’ Trevor Phillips along with her great-grandson Dov Forman, Ms Ebert was asked whether she fears that the Holocaust<\/strong> could happen again 78 years later.<\/p>\n

“That is a very difficult question to answer for me,” she said. “But we see it can, because it happened.<\/p>\n

“It’s happened to me the second time as well. Luckily they did not kill me, only nearly.<\/p>\n

“They behaved to me not to human beings you should talk to, they talk to somebody who is not a normal human being.<\/p>\n

“Why should anybody speak like that to me? When I have done nothing wrong for the whole world.”<\/p>\n

Mr Forman then added that antisemitism “is still ever present in today’s world,” saying: “That’s why it’s important to remember, because we need ordinary people like you and I who stood idly by during the time of the Holocaust to realise that if we leave hatred to go unchecked, that leads to place like the gas chambers.<\/p>\n

“Auschwitz-Birkenau did not fall from the sky. The Holocaust was not something that was created overnight. This was indoctrination over years of an ideology of hatred.”<\/p>\n

Ms Ebert, when describing her time in Auschwitz, also told Mr Phillips: “When I survived the worst thing in life, being in Auschwitz, you could say that was in life for anybody, the worst thing.<\/p>\n

“To survive that – I don’t think a lot of people can survive that. I survived that, and that was terrible.”<\/p>\n

Saturday saw the UK and the world mark Holocaust Memorial Day, commemorating 79 years since the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp was liberated.<\/p>\n

In a statement<\/strong> marking the Holocaust <\/strong>on Wednesday, Rishi Sunak said: “I want to address very directly the despicable resurgence of antisemitism. Because it is not enough to come together today and faithfully remember the Holocaust.<\/p>\n

“We must also act on what that memory teaches us. It is sickening that Jewish people are once again facing the most abhorrent antisemitism in this country.”<\/p>\n

It comes as Sky News learned antisemitic incidents referencing the Holocaust have increased by 104%<\/strong> across the UK in 2023.<\/p>\n

The Community Security Trust (CST), a charity that protects British Jews from antisemitism, last year received 955 reports of Holocaust-related antisemitism, defined as incidents containing some kind of reference to the Holocaust, Nazis, Hitler or swastikas.<\/p>\n

That number is more than double the 469 incidents reported in 2022.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
