Actress anger at antisemite election abuse.
Byline: RECORD REPORTER
ACTRESS Tracy-Ann Oberman said she had no choice but to fight back against online trolls.
Speaking ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day on Monday, Tracy-Ann, a descendent of Jewish immigrants, said the antisemitic abuse on Twitter peaked during last year's election campaign.
The former EastEnders star said the onslaught included vile racist insults, while some used Holocaust denial to attack her.
She said: "I am an actor, writer, wife, mother, and daughter. I am not a politician or activist but I had to speak out.
"I can't understand how anyone can say the Holocaust didn't happen - the mass extermination of Jews. We must never forget."
