Polanski questioned over Holocaust family claims

telegraph.co.uk [$] —

Green Party leader Zack Polanski faces questions over claims his family fled the Holocaust, as reports indicate all four of his grandparents were born in Britain before World War II. Polanski told party members last October that his Jewish ancestors "faced the Nazis" in Poland before arriving in England, framing himself as "literally the product of migration" and citing this as motivation for his pro-migrant stance. He described a family journey from Latvia to Ukraine to Poland, facing pogroms and Nazis, before reaching England, though his recent ancestors reportedly were already in Britain before the war.
