This “situations wanted” posting from the Times in 1939 is extraordinary…

So it’s holocaust remembrance day and this press snippet caught our eye – it’s a clipping from The Times in 1939, situations wanted, that’s people looking for work.

It’s almost all working class German Jewish people looking to (understandably) get out of Germany and work in the UK as domestic staff.

What with all the anti-immigration stuff in the news, specifically David Cameron shouting in parliament about a “bunch of migrants” it made us think.

BTW: Why the 27th? January 27, 1945 was the day the Auschwitz concentration camp was liberated by the Soviets.
