Supplementary #AdvocacyUKHopeNotHateHarryShukman "The racism of the Britain First members was continually surprising to me. I listened to conversations about how Auschwitz was 'all made up'. Tony, a member who also belonged to the neo-nazi British Movement, told me how the Holocaust was a fiction. 'The gas chambers? For delousing,' he said. Alex Merola, a national organiser who runs the Nationalist Newsroom podcast for Britain First, agreed. 'For typhus,' he said. 'That's all it was.' Both were referring to the conspiracy theory among Holocaust deniers that the main cause of Jewish deaths in WW2 was from disease. Tony and Alex both also bragged about owning signed copies of books by David Irving, the Holocaust denier."
