Miriam Margolyes, a renowned British actress and outspoken humanitarian, has never shied away from sharing her views on global injustices. As a Jewish woman born during the Holocaust, she reflects on the ongoing conflict in Gaza with deep sorrow and moral clarity.
Margolyes said:
Gaza, i feel it particularly because I’m Jewish, because I know how much wickedness and cruelty were meted out to Jews in my lifetime. I was born in ’41 at the height of the Holocaust. And I cannot bear to think that my people are doing exactly the same thing to another nation. And the nation that they’re doing it to, the Palestinian nation, was not responsible for the Holocaust, had nothing to do with it. That was a purely European pleasure. And so my heart is broken. And I think the terrible thing I have to face is that Hitler won. He changed us. He made us like him.
Margolyes’ words are a painful reminder of how cycles of violence and trauma can echo through generations. Her plea is not just for the victims in Gaza but for all who value humanity—to reflect, to speak out, and to strive for a better, more compassionate world.
