I'm back from Geneva again after taking part in the second part of the UK's reporting process with @UNChildRights1. During my time there I was privileged to spend time with some truly incredible human rights defenders.

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day, marking 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. We remember the 6 million Jewish men, women, and children murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators. As survivors grow fewer and antisemitism rises, today is more vital than ever.

[Holocaust Memorial Day Trust @HMD_UK]

At 8pm on 27 January, join us to Light the Darkness for #HMD2025.

On Monday, people will light candles and place them safely in their windows to remember those who were murdered for who they were, and stand against prejudice and hatred today.

🕯️ #LightTheDarkness for #HolocaustMemorialDay.

My latest article in @VarsityUK discusses political disillusionment among Gen-Z and how my generation must bring politics back from the brink of online populism. https://t.co/vCRoYxDrlB

[Varsity @VarsityUK]

Far-right populism is soaring, and it's causing much of Gen-Z to be disillusioned with politics. Daisy Stewart Henderson reflects on her time as a youth parliamentarian and arguing that we need to recapture youth engagement https://t.co/5ItzpuA9PL

The LinkedIn culture of comparison is magnified in Cambridge – and rather than value each other (and ourselves) through posts about impressive achievements, we should rekindle connecting with each other on a human level, argues Daisy Stewart Henderson https://t.co/PZYLF9lhL4

@azlatevfurther @VarsityUK This is so sweet Alex thank you!!

My new article in @VarsityUK discusses Cambridge's 'LinkedIn culture' and its implications for students' interpersonal relationships. https://t.co/R1eCjEMDCb

[Holocaust Memorial Day Trust @HMD_UK]

#OnThisDay in 1938, the Nazis initiated a campaign of hatred against the Jewish population in Nazi-occupied territories.

An estimated 91 Jews were killed, 30,000 arrested and more than 260 synagogues destroyed during the November Pogrom. #OTD #Kristallnacht

My latest article in @VarsityUK discussing the geopolitical connotations of cheap flights from Britain to Eastern Europe is out now!

Perhaps there is 'value in the visits of those with the least profound motivations imaginable' writes Daisy Stewart Henderson on the emergence of lads-on-tour culture in the former Eastern Bloc https://t.co/zdlFNODL8A

[Daisy Stewart Henderson @DaisySHenderson]

Delighted to see my latest article for @VarsityUK published both online and in print! In it, I discuss the impact of an uneven distribution of confidence between men and women on the gender imbalance in admissions and attainment at my Cambridge college.

[Varsity @VarsityUK]

Daisy Stewart Henderson argues that Trinity's meritocratic admissions system rewards disproportionately confident men, who go onto better succeed in the humanities https://t.co/8UldlPz3na

[Daisy Stewart Henderson @DaisySHenderson]

Happy to see this letter I submitted to @TheScotsman regarding Holocaust education in Scotland published. Scotland has been falling behind for long enough - it is time for @scotgov to commit to mandatory Holocaust education. https://t.co/YSKZDQ5ZwJ

[Daisy Stewart Henderson @DaisySHenderson]

Doing so would not be progressive; it would merely elevate Scotland to the level of most Western democracies. But it is an essential step if Scotland wants to consider itself to be concerned with equality in an age where the threat of hatred and misinformation is all too real.

We will call out Antisemitism for what it is: hatred.

[Cambridge Massoud Conference (CMC) @CambMassoudConf]

Our Cambridge Afghanistan Series III aka Cambridge Massoud Conference, this year garnered a lot of media attention. But this thorough piece by @James_JosephTDL published at @JURISTnews is exceptionally well-written. Thank you James for chairing a key session & for the great piece

[Daisy Stewart Henderson @DaisySHenderson]

However, it should serve as a wake up call to those in the Scottish education sector, where Holocaust education remains wholly optional. Scotland is trailing behind at a time when Holocaust education is more critical than ever, and it is quite frankly humiliating.

[Daisy Stewart Henderson @DaisySHenderson]

https://t.co/JEXzrLeyuY This is heartening news; it is excellent to see the Prime Minister recognising the essentialness of Holocaust education and strengthening England's already comparatively robust commitment to teaching it. #HolocaustEducation

[Keir Starmer @Keir_Starmer]

We must call out Antisemitism for what it is: hatred.

Tonight, I set a new national ambition. For the first time, studying the Holocaust will become a critical part of every student’s identity.

We will make sure that the Holocaust is never forgotten, and never again repeated.
