A new report by the group Parents Against Antisemitism has revealed a shocking snapshot of antisemitism in our schools. Among the examples provided by a mainly Jewish group of 100 parents are: * During a Drama lesson the teacher led an activity with the only Jewish child in the class being surrounded by peers giving him Nazi salutes which led to this being re- enacted as bullying in the playground. * Multiple examples of Jewish students being told they or all Jews should be gassed, including using bunsen burners in Science lessons as a prop, being subjected to hissing noises, or suggesting they go on the “wrong train to Poland”. * One child was told “1,2,3 Jew run or I’ll gas you”. Another was told “I want to build a gas chamber and chain up all Jews”. * Swastikas, or ‘kill the Jews’ are being daubed on class tables, Jewish students’ notebooks or in student toilets. In one example of graffiti in a cubicle stating “Follow your dreams” a student added “My mum says I can't be Adolf Hitler”. * A Jewish child was asked where his number was tattooed. * Hitler salutes and jokes about the Holocaust are commonplace. * Many are told “Hitler was right” and one child was physically assaulted after their attacker performed a Hitler salute. * One primary school child was sent a picture of Hitler accompanied by the caption “6 million victory". * Hitler Youth songs are being sung that are found on social media and a Jewish teacher was told by a student that they “liked Hitler”. * On Culture Day when a child showed an Israeli flag she was booed and the teacher took no action. Another child was told Jews have “no culture because they are white”. * Blood libels such as: “Jews kill and eat children”, “You can’t trust Jews”, “Jews are all rich”, “Jews are paedophiles”, “Jews control the world and media” are repeatedly targeted in person against Jewish students and teachers and are widespread. * A child who wore a piece of jewellery identifying her as Jewish was kicked to the ground. * One child was threatened with being beheaded “as all Jews deserve”. * Sixth Form students declared that “It isn't antisemitic to suggest Jews are rich. It's just true”. * A 9 year old child was asked if he was Jewish and upon responding affirmatively was told to “lock his house” because it would be attacked. * At a Church of England primary school a Jewish child was told “Jews and Christians can’t play together” and that “Jews would be punished”. * A Jewish child was told “I’m going to kill you, you F***ing Jew” (whilst being chased with a weapon and threatened with being thrown from a large height). * A Jewish student was followed by a 14 year old peer who shouted “F*** the Jews, kill the Jews”. * Students openly celebrated the Manchester synagogue attack. * Derogatory remarks and racial slurs are regularly used, for example, “Jew scum”, “Kike”, “F*** all Yids”, “You People”. * Jewish children are being forced to confirm that they support Palestine. * A Jewish primary school child was told “You are a pig because you are Jewish”. * A student threw a coin on the floor and asked a Jewish student if they dropped it and if they wanted it. When the Jewish student went to take it, the other student-said “Of course, money grabbing Jew”. * Children (in primary and secondary level) are being openly excluded socially due to being Jewish. * Jewish teachers are targeted by students including being told “F*** the Jews” and that they are responsible for Gaza and 9/11. * ‘Free Palestine” chants are shouted at Jewish children and parents, and Palestine flags and symbols openly displayed and targeted at Jews. * Rumours were spread about the only Jew in the year that this child wants to bomb Muslim houses. * A 5 year old Jewish child was told by his friends that-he was “killing all the babies”. The child was then excluded from class birthday parties and eventually left to go to a Jewish school. More 👇🏼

For #mentalhealthawarenessmonth, we asked our actor Maya (who plays Holocaust survivor Susan Pollack OBE) what techniques she uses to stay grounded after rehearsals and performances. Maya has personal family experience of the #Holocaust as a third generation survivor. Watch:

The play's pertinent themes of finding kindness in places of hatred, resonated with the audience. Some of the schools held a Q and A with actors Maya, Christian, May and Sam, and students were able to ask questions about the Holocaust, their characters and antisemitism.

Last week, our wonderful cast and company performed 'Kindness' to students at #schools - ACS International School Cobham , Avonbourne Academy and Colne Community School. Year 8- 13 students watched the spellbinding play- the story of Susan Pollack OBE. #theatre #Holocaust

Antisemitism in the UK and these targeted attacks seem to be growing and picking up pace. We utterly condemn the hate and violence towards our Jewish community, it has no place in British society. We pray for the injured. #antisemitism #goldersgreen #jewishcommunity
