Deliberately and pointedly using Holocaust references to criticise Israel is antisemitic, and yet this week two Independent MPs did exactly that. They disgrace themselves - and bring shame onto Parliament. My thoughts in @JewishChron thejc.com/opinion/pro-ga…
A wonderful conversation between Ben Winston and James Corden last night. Entertaining, insightful, heartwarming.
RIP Ozzy 🙏 Ozzy Osbourne, hard rock pioneer, dies aged 76 thetimes.com/article/46b862…
Vile comments. Clearly false and obviously antisemitic. How did this get aired?? @LBC Oh and “Shabbat school”…. 🤷🏻♀️
This week, our Testimony 360: People and Places of the Holocaust programme visited Newcastle. Hundreds of students from local schools engaged in conversations with a virtual Holocaust survivor and used VR to explore the present-day locations featured in their testimony.
What a privilege to celebrate this incredible woman on her 100th birthday. And to listen to such beautiful music, much of it performed by her talented family. Happy 100th birthday Anita! @HolocaustUK @wigmore_hall
Den Holocaust überlebte sie im Mädchenorchester von Auschwitz. Seit vielen Jahren macht sie sich unermüdlich für Freiheit, Demokratie und Menschlichkeit stark. Wir feiern heute den 100. Geburtstag von Anita Lasker-Wallfisch. Ich wünsche Ihnen alles erdenklich Gute!
Congratulations to Anita Lasker Wallfisch on her 100th Birthday. As the last survivor of the Women’s Orchestra of Auschwitz she has been an inspiration and an immensely important champion of Holocaust remembrance. It has been an honour for me talking with her.
Mazal Tov to Holocaust survivor Anita Lasker-Wallfisch MBE, who is celebrating her 100th bithday today! Please send her your birthday wishes on this very special birthday.
100 today - with an important message. Thank you and Happy Birthday Anita! @HolocaustUK
"Talk to each other before you kill each other." Anita Lasker-Wallfisch, a survivor of the Women's Orchestra of Auschwitz, gives some advice ahead of her 100th birthday today. #R4Today
This is misleading. Abbott’s letter did not say that the racism suffered by Jews and Travellers is different from that suffered by black people. She wrote that Jews and Travellers do not suffer racism at all, but merely prejudice similar to that suffered by redheads.

What an absolute mess. Drawing a ‘distinction’ between the political and military wing of Hamas is incorrect, ignorant and not the position of the British Government… BBC News chief accused of ‘minimising’ failings of Gaza documentary thetimes.com/article/128a00…
Today is the 30th anniversary of the Srebrenica Genocide. We join @SrebrenicaUK in remembering the thousands of people murdered.
Mazel Tov Dov! We’re all very proud of you! 💪👏🙌 @HolocaustUK
I’m humbled to be on the inaugural @TIME 100 Creators list, recognising the “most influential people on the internet”. What began as a lockdown project sharing my great grandma’s holocaust testimony online has become something far beyond what I ever imagined. Thank you ❤️
We express our full solidarity with the Melbourne Jewish community, following an attempted arson attack on the East Melbourne Hebrew Congregation, while 20 Jews were praying inside, attacks on diners at a Jewish-owned restaurant and the torching of cars owned by Jews, all within…
Thank you @LordJohnBrowne for your support and your leadership.
My mother was a Holocaust survivor. She taught me that when times are hard, the majority often turns on the minority. That truth shaped her life - and mine. So I was honoured to attend @HolocaustUK's Ambassador Conference as a HET board member and head of the Ambassador…
