Parallel with Nazis’ treatment of jews

Parallels can be drawn between the way refugees have been managed like “cattle” in the Calais Jungle camp and the treatment of Jews in Nazi Germany, a charity head has said.

French authorities are due to start demolishing the settlement today, with buses expected to start transporting the estimated 6,500 residents to temporary accommodation centres .

Clare Moseley, founder of the Care4Calais refugee crisis charity, told the Press Association: “I would not want to trivialise what happened to the Jews because it was so awful, but there are parallels that can be drawn.

“The way that the French people treat the refugees sometimes can feel very much like cattle, it can feel very dehumanising.”
