Holocaust survivor Charlotte Knobloch has condemned Labour for having “one of Europe’s most blatant problem cases of political antisemitism”.
Ms Knobloch, 86, was speaking at a Shoah memorial event in the European Parliament when she said the party was “one of the most drastic examples” of the speed with which antisemitism could spread.
She said antisemitism was resurfacing across Europe.
Ms Knobloch, who survived Shoah because she was adopted and hidden by her family's former housekeeper, said that while radical groups on the far right and left were different, they often share similar antisemitic beliefs, as do radical Islamists groups.
