IN A move widely seen to be bowing to Muslim pressure, Bolton Council has scrapped its Holocaust Memorial Day event.
The council is to replace it with a Genocide Memorial Day in June. This is in line with the policy of the Muslim Council of Britain, which continues to boycott HMD and is asking for a Genocide Day, which will also mark "the ongoing genocide and human rights abuses of Palestinians" by Israelis.
The council decision was made in consultation with the town's Interfaith Council.
But Rabbi Joseph Lever of United Synagogue who has participated in the Bolton event for around three years was not consulted on the decision. He said: "I mourn the fact that the Holocaust Memorial Day event will not take place in Bolton this year."
Louis Rapaport, president of the Jewish Representative Council of Greater Manchester, was equally disappointed that the Jewish community was not consulted.
He said: "Bolton, alone of all the local authorities in our area, is not having an HMD event which is a government recommendation." He added: "There may not be many Jews in Bolton but the day is supposed to have an educational message to the whole community.
"I can't help feeling the decision was influenced by Bolton's large Muslim community."
Holocaust educator David Arnold said: "It is more than unfortunate that Bolton has seen fit to trivialise the remembrance of the Shoah."
Mr Arnold regretted the intrusion of "politics" into the issue.
He said: "It is entirely inappropriate and stems from a failure to understand the issues."

Disgusting.
The Muzzies would prefer a Holocaust Celebration Day.
The Denial deniers are being denied???
Are the Brits turning into a bunch of pansy a$$ed faggots?
And every day my file on how the West is capitulating to Muslims gets bigger and bigger.
No, just dhimmis.
If they don't broadcast loud and clear the Armenian Genocide at the bloody hands of the Turks, that community should scream bloody murder.
Welcome to South Carolina. Here you can own guns and speak your mind - both freely.
FReepers will be in front of the S.C. State House at 1700 hrs Wednesday the 31st - four of us counterprotesting the usual eleven moonbat lefties.
Stop by and visit - you won't see us on the local news.
Stop the kowtowing to these ignorant Muslim bigots.
The Muslims are obviously religious bigots, so what's the point of kowtowing to their supposedly offended sensibilities?
