Holocaust survivor calls out against rising Islamophobia and anti-semitism

A HOLOCAUST survivor called for awareness of rising Islamophobia and anti-semitism on Friday after being made an MBE.

Mindu Hornick said she wanted to use the honour to raise awareness not only of the atrocities in the past but those “going on now in the 21st century.”

The 90-year-old has been recognised for her work in Holocaust education with the Anne Frank Trust and Holocaust Memorial Trust.
