Jews’ treatment comparison
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.
Clare Moseley, founder of the Care4Calais refugee crisis charity, said: “I would not want to trivialise what happened to the Jews because it was so awful, but there are parallels that can be drawn.”
From today, government-organised buses are expected to take thousands of the camp’s residents to temporary reception centres where they will have to claim asylum in France within a set period of time or face deportation.
Those who refuse to leave Calais risk being arrested and deported.
Charities have been trying to psychologically prepare people for the move.
