Excellent sessions for Year 9 with @SMGilbertLearn this week, focusing on Bristish responses to Jewish refugees! Students were really engaged and had lots of interesting questions. Bethany was fantastic and I would highly recommend this!

A Tennessee school board just banned MAUS, a graphic novel by Art Spiegelman, for “disturbing images.”
The book is about the Holocaust.
If it’s not disturbing, it’s not accurate.
We have to teach the Holocaust in its full horror, otherwise we’re not really teaching it.

Had the pleasure today of hearing my clever colleague @RFMacLellan talking about Licoricia of Winchester, medieval England's most successful female money lender, who popped up in research on the intriguing history of Jewish people at the Tower of London

I urge you to follow @AuschwitzMuseum It often feels like a punch in the gut, but it is a valuable reminder of how truly awful human beings can be. Many of the young people murdered were born around the same time as my parents. We must look into their eyes and remember.
8 January 1936 | Dutch Jewish girl Mirjam Kornalijnslijper was born in Amsterdam.

On the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau we researched the biographies of 75 people who were murdered there. We held an assembly & everyone in our school had a photograph of a victim to remember @AuschwitzMuseum @UCL_Holocaust @holocaust_uk #NeverAgain

As a living witness, my great grandma (97-year-old Auschwitz survivor, Lily Ebert) cherishes her role in Holocaust education:
“It’s not easy, but I am determined to make a difference.”
👂Hear more about her story and our book next week on @bbcworldservice’s ‘Outlook’ programme.
