Holocaust survivors urge young Europeans to vote against far

Those who lived through Nazi atrocities say voters must use their voice in EU elections

A group of Holocaust survivors has issued a joint appeal before this weekend’s European parliament election urging younger voters to go to the polls and to exercise their right to prevent the far right from gaining power.

“For millions of you, the European poll is the first election in your life. For many of us it could be the last,” the eight survivors, wrote in the letter. “We couldn’t prevent [the rise of nazism] back then, but you can today.”
