At Counterfire’s Revolution! May Day Weekender, Holocaust survivor Stephen Kapos recounts his experiences 80 years on from the end of the Second World War

Counterfire has been central to the Palestine revolt and we are committed to building mass, united movements of resistance. Become a member today and join the fightback.
