Really excited to have a co-authored article with @MaikenUmbach published in Holocaust Studies journal entitled ‘Private photos and Holocaust testimony: A complex relationship’. https://t.co/FveGH6NZxO

@KasiaTee Right back at you

[Alice Tofts @AliceTofts2]

A timely coincidence that I passed my viva today on #HMD2023 with my thesis exploring the photographs of four ordinary but extraordinary Holocaust survivors & their families. TY @TimCole_Bristol and Nick Baron for a supportive and challenging discussion & TY to my supervisors!

[Alice Tofts @AliceTofts2]

Thank you very much for having me @HolocaustUK - what a great group of people who wanted to engage with private collections of photographs

[H.E.T. @HolocaustUK]

We were very excited to be joined by PhD student Alice Tofts from @I_W_M and Yiftach Meiri from @yadvashem to run sessions.

The Regional Ambassadors who attended our Study Visit to Yad Vashem earlier this year were also able to present their follow-up projects to their peers.

Ahead of the world cup, it's important to hear from those who suffered human rights abuses. Malcolm Bidali was kidnapped and arrested by the Quatari authorities for speaking about the abuse he suffered as a migrant worker. Read his piece in @MinorityRights

THREAD: Energy Bill Support Grant. I have just been notified that I will get £67 a month off my energy bills under the govt scheme. For enormous numbers of people this support will be absolutely vital. But it won't be vital for everyone, and that includes me. (PLS RT) 1/

Oil and gas companies say they’re going green. Yesterday I looked through some of their accounts to see if it’s true.

In the first half of this year, 4 companies made £74.4bn and reinvested £3.4bn in low carbon energy. On average, that’s equivalent to 5% of their profits.

Nice view on the beach this morning in Brighton. Shame I can't see the wind turbines. Thanks @SouthernWater

The personal implications of researching violent histories are rarely talked about but it’s helpful to hear Antony Beevor talking about suffering from post-traumatic stress after researching the Red Army’s crimes. https://t.co/pG4bUxtZ5h

[Rio Creech-Nowagiel @rio_creech]

Never heard of the 'Malayan Emergency'? Does the term ring a bell but that's it? Then check out this @I_W_M podcast I made with @PhilNWang where we both learn things. He learns more about this complex, deeply relevant colonial war & I learn that he is a famous comedian 🙃

@hannah_r_west Hi, I did you receive my email?

[Alice Tofts @AliceTofts2]

Doing a PhD on the subject of the Holocaust has been an extremely lonely and challenging experience. I am so glad to be part of developing @TraumaHistNet, building conversations and networks where themes like trauma, self-reflexivity and emotions can be explored.

[Alice Tofts @AliceTofts2]

@hannah_r_west Hi @hannah_r_west thanks for your message, I’ve emailed you from the networks email address.
