What a brilliant day! Crazy tour of Nova Huta. Students were transported back to the 1980s following the trail, trying to free our arrested guide. Proper fun and silliness to round off a brilliant trip. Krakow 2023! What a trip. What fantastic students

[CollyersHistory @CollyersHistory]

Team Krakow 2023. Off for our tour of Nowa Huta after a morning of shopping.

An incredibly harrowing but important tour of Auschwitz today with our students. We are so impressed with their behaviour and response to such a moving experience. Such an important responsibility to remember those who were killed in the Holocaust @Auschwitzmuseum

[CollyersHistory @CollyersHistory]

Brilliant first day in Krakow with our wonderful History students. Really early start was totally worth it. Very informative guided tour of Galicia Jewish Museum and a visit to Auschwitz tomorrow. Incredible experience for them all. #Krakow

The Days of May, a period of significant social unrest and political tension, began #OnThisDay 1832 after Tories blocked a parliamentary reform bill in the House of Lords. The fall of the bill was met with rioting, campaigns of sabotage and threats of armed insurrection.

#OnThisDay 1848: Up to 150,000 people gathered on Kennington Common at a meeting organised by the Chartists, a movement that campaigned for manhood suffrage, the secret ballot, no property qualifications for MPs, the payment of MPs, equal constituencies & annual elections.

[CollyersHistory @CollyersHistory]

Another brilliant talk from @GeorgeGilbert about Putin, Ukraine, Brezhnev and many other very interesting topics. It was a real pleasure to have you zoom into our lecture theatre. Great turnout and great questions for our wonderful history students.

February is #LGBTHM.
We remember that in the summer of 1940 Himmler ordered that, after they have finished their time in prison, gay men who had 'seduced more than one partner' should not be freed but sent to a concentration camp where they could 'choose' castration. RT

“I have never, on any occasion, flinched from performing my duty to the working classes of the United Kingdom.”

Henry ‘Orator’ Hunt, pioneer of working-class radicalism and an important influence on the later Chartist movement, died #OnThisDay 1835.

[History Of Parliament @HistParl]

#LGBTQ+ stories are often overlooked within parliamentary history, but @cupchurch2 has utilised #HistParl to platform the history of those who worked in the British Parliament to reduce the penalties for sex between men in the 19thc. Find out more👇https://t.co/tSt7zMKhaQ

“I broke the windows of the Daily Mail as a protest against the corruption of the Press for withholding the truth about the suffrage movement from the great British public.”

Maud Arncliffe Sennett, actress and women’s suffrage campaigner, was born #OnThisDay 1862.

[English Radical History @EnglishRadical]

The National Convention, organised to facilitate the presentation of a Chartist petition to Parliament, opened #OnThisDay 1839. The petition, which called for universal male suffrage, was signed by 1.3 million people, but MPs refused to hear the petitioners in June 1839.
