Holocaust Survivor’s Daughter Kicked Out Of Roger Waters Gig

The daughter of a Holocaust survivor was removed from Roger Waters show at the O2 in London last night.

The Pink Floyd legend is facing accusations that his performance is anti-semitic.

According to lbc.co.uk:

Waters’ show has been described as “deeply offensive to Jewish people”, in which the Pink Floyd co-founder wears a black trench coat with a swastika-like emblem.

The controversial show was hosted by the O2 in Greenwich, south east London, on Wednesday night.

It comes after Berlin police said they were investigating the singer on suspicion of “incitement of the people” following his performance in Germany.

London’s show was subject to protests by Jewish activists, who chanted: “Hey Roger leave us Jews alone.”

During protests inside the arena, the daughter of a Holocaust survivor was reportedly tackled by securities and booted out of the performance following a series of protests.
Waters has come under intense criticism over his performance, including from politicians in the UK.

Leader of the Labour Party Sir Keir Starmer called for the show to be cancelled, saying “the show should not be allowed to go ahead”.

Meanwhile, Michael Gove said Waters is “reportedly falling short” in his responsibility to “not abuse his platform”.

Waters spoke to Double Down News this week and he had some strong words for his critics.

Roger Waters is no anti-semite.
