Top footballers to mark Holocaust Memorial Day with anti-racism video
JVL Introduction
A remarkable two-minute video, marking Holocaust Memorial Day on 27 January, features Harry Kane, the England men’s captain, Steph Houghton, the England women’s captain, Frank Lampard, the Chelsea manager, Jürgen Klopp, the Liverpool manager, and the Match of the Day presenter Gary Lineker alongside two dozen others.
Against images of antisemitic graffiti, Islamophobia and a lesbian couple abused on a London bus, the vdeo says: “When we see racism, antisemitism, discrimination or hatred, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant … we mustn’t stand by, we need to stand up, we need to stand together.”
It will be shown at FA Cup matches this weekend.

Thank you for remembering the biggest crime in the history of mankind,.
NEVER AGAIN MEANS NEVER AGAIN.
It’s a very moving video which should hopefully be effective
I hope the same footballers will speak out against the current Genocide happening in Palestine on the 15th May, Nakba Day.
Zionism is racism. it is not antisemitism as the Zionists would like you to believe.
