Glad I could help identify Emile du Bois as the jerseyman in Buchenwald. Did you know that there were 9 channel islanders in this camp? Check out frankfallaarchive.org for their stories.
Did you see the recent newsletter item about the Jerseyman held captive at Buchenwald concentration camp? We are pleased to report he's finally been identified, thanks to @CarrGilly! More info here: cios.org.je/news/2021/a-jers…

Be the light in the darkness' is the theme for HMD 2021. Today we reflect on the depths humanity can sink to, but also the ways people have resisted that darkness to ‘be the light’. Some very special stories from the German Occupation of Jersey 1940-45. #HolocaustMemorialDay

Amazing organisation - Jersey already has UNESCO Memory of the World UK listing for the Occupation Records at Jersey Archive and we hope the Island’s incredible landscape and heritage will soon be part of it as well as we work towards Geopark designation. #aspiringgeopark #un75
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation was founded in London on 16 November 1945🥳
75 years later, @UNESCO continues to foster peace through international collaboration in education, science, and culture 🕊️
