'a new survey conducted by the Anti-Defamation League in a number of countries in Europe shows that a fifth of Britons believe Jews have too much power in the business world. Of those surveyed, 23 percent said they believe Jews talk too much about the Holocaust and a third said they believed anti-Jewish sentiment would increase in the next few years. Almost half of the participants said they have no or little contact with Jews.

THE Queen declined an invitation from the Home Office to attend Saturday's ceremony to mark the nation's first Holocaust Memorial Day because she did not wish to interrupt her Christmas break at Sandringham. The Home Office, which has organised the event at Westminster Hall in the presence of survivors of the Holocaust and the conflicts in Bosnia and Rwanda, had requested her presence, but Buckingham Palace declined. She will attend a shooting party hosted by her husband that day. Buckingham Palace said: "The Queen always remains at Sandringham until February 6, the anniversary of her accession to the throne. She does one or two local engagements, but does not normally return to London." 25 01 01A. PierceThe Queen spurns Holocaust Day
