Yesterday, some eight decades after their sacrifice during the Allied invasion in 1944, the names of 98 “lost” servicemen were finally added to the roll of honour on the British Normandy Memorial.

Find out why they were originally omitted here ⬇️

Today, we remember Alan Turing, who died on 7 June 1954.

A mathematician, codebreaker and pioneer of modern computing, Turing's work helped shorten the Second World War and laid the foundations for technologies that shape our lives today.

For decades, his achievements went largely unrecognised, and he faced profound personal challenges because of who he was. Yet his contribution to science, innovation and society remains extraordinary.

On the anniversary of his death, we honour a man whose ideas changed the world and whose legacy continues to inspire generations of thinkers, problem-solvers and innovators.

[Auschwitz Memorial @AuschwitzMuseum]

With great sadness, we received information of the passing of Albrecht Weinberg, a German-Jewish Auschwitz Survivor.

Albrecht Weinberg was born in 1925 in Rhauderfehn in East Frisia. Deported to Auschwitz in 1943, he later survived Mittelbau-Dora, Bergen-Belsen, and the death marches.

After the war, he emigrated to the United States. In his 80s, he returned to Germany and became an important witness to the Holocaust and an advocate for remembrance. He spent years teaching about the atrocities he endured.

Albrecht Weinberg was 101 years old.

Today we’re remembering Judy, the only dog officially registered as a POW in WWII.

She survived shipwrecks and harsh conditions, protecting fellow prisoners along the way. In 1946, she received the PDSA Dickin Medal for her incredible courage. 🎖️
