Astria invited Hedy Epstein, a Jewish pro-Palestinian activist whom the Anti-Defamation League criticized for demonizing Israel, to represent Holocaust survivors at a panel discussion about women during World War II.<\/span><\/p>\n

In invitations sent out Friday by the office of the president of the Austrian parliament, Epstein, who has likened Israel to Nazi Germany, was described as a peace and human rights activist. She is the only Jewish guest slated to speak at the event, scheduled to take place March 8.<\/span><\/p>\n

The ADL in 2005 listed statements made by Epstein, who was born in Germany and spent most of World War II in Britain, first among examples of anti-Israel campus activism that \u201cwould meet both the United States government\u2019s and [Natan] Sharansky\u2019s definitions of anti-Semitism.\u201d The ADL statement was in response to a lecture given by Epstein in 2004 at Stanford University, in which she compared the Nazi treatment of Jews to Israeli treatment of Palestinians.<\/span><\/p>\n

Epstein has participated in several actions to break Israel\u2019s blockade of the Hamas-run Gaza Strip and has signed numerous petitions by the boycott, divestment and sanctions movement against Israel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Born in Germany in 1924, she left the country in 1939 on a Kindertransport \u2014 the name for efforts to rescue European children of the era to the relative safety of Britain \u2014 where she spent the war years.<\/span><\/p>\n
