Chairman of the British Parliament’s Committee for the War on Anti-Semitism, John Mann, took part on Monday in Birmingham, England, at the opening of a photo exhibition on the life of Shimon Peres.

During the visit, Mann spoke with the exhibition’s curator, Yoram Dori, who told the story of Peres’s grandfather, Zvi Meltzer, who was murdered in the Holocaust alongside another 2,500 while praying in a synagogue.
