  • From The Times and The Sunday Times, this is the story on Saturday.

  • I'm Man Ving Rana.

  • This week we have an incredibly powerful story,

  • read by The Times columnist, author and conservative peer, Danny Finkelstein.

  • He recently wrote a piece about the tidal wave of anti-Semitic abuse that he's received in the wake of an encounter with a far-right activist,

  • Nick Fuentes.

  • Danny's mother survived Bergen-Belsen,

  • so when Fuentes began spreading pro-Hitler ideas, Danny decided to publicly challenge him.

  • But he hadn't expected the onslaught that ensued.

  • With a poll this week sharing 2025 had the second highest yearly total ever for anti-Semitic incidents,

  • we asked Danny to read his piece, which you'll find in this weekend's magazine.

  • Here he is.

  • About a year before my mother died, she came to my son's school to give a talk about her life.

  • She was already pretty frail by then and needed me to take her there in a wheelchair.

  • The pupils were totally gripped, but her powers, that lovely open,

  • captivating way she had of telling a story, were clearly on the wane.

  • And as I listened, I realised I was seeing the last of all the many talks she had given.

  • I understood a little of what that might mean for me.

  • I knew my duty.

  • I'd have to tell her story for her.
