Rabbi Tells Jewish UK Students That Only "Unassimilated" Jews Were Spared By Nazis During Holocaust

Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi

London - Speaking at Hasmonean Hight School this past Monday, controversial Orthodox Rabbi Yosef Mizrachi told a group of Jewish senior boys that Ashkenazi Jews suffered the Holocaust because they had become more assimilated, and less respectful of rabbis while the “unassimilated” Sephardi Jews, “in Syria, Israel, Iran, Iraq places where almost all the Jews were keeping the laws they the Nazis did not kill them.”

THEJC.com reports that Mizrachi went on to tell the boys that those killed in Nazi gas chambers were “guilty” of not preventing their “Jewish brothers and sisters” from becoming assimilated.

Sources said Mizrachi’s appearance at the school was met by protests and harsh criticism from concerned residents familiar with his views.
