Chelsea players meet survivor from the Holocaust as part of initiative to kick anti-Semitism out of football

Chelsea's campaign to kick anti-Semitism out of football continued on Thursday as they invited inspirational holocaust survivor Harry Spiro to give a talk in front of the first team.

The club launched a new initiative to tackle anti-Semitism earlier this week and the full first-team squad were present at Cobham to meet Spiro as part of the World Jewish Congress #WeRemember campaign.

Hosted in a room usually reserved for tactical discussions, the likes of Cesc Fabregas and David Luiz listened intently as Spiro relived some of the harrowing plight he and his family went through under the Nazis.
