The #Sonderkommando revolt took place in October 1944. It is the only known rebellion to have taken place in Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The Sonderkommando surprised their guards; 1 of the crematoria was destroyed, the other was severely damaged.

The crematoria did not resume operations.

[Malala Yousafzai @Malala]

Exactly 12 years ago today, a Taliban gunman pointed his gun at my head and shot me for daring to speak up for girls’ right to go to school.

I want to thank every person for your solidarity and support, from praying for my recovery to helping me in my work for girls’ access to education, both in my home country of Pakistan and around the world.

Most years, I spend October 9th like any other day, with gratitude for having lived another year. But today, I am in New York to address the American Society of International Law (ASIL), a prestigious group of legal experts who have chosen to honour @MalalaFund and its work alongside Afghan activists fighting to protect the right to education for girls in Afghanistan. These women worked tirelessly before the fall of Kabul in 2021, and fearlessly since, to keep girls learning under the most impossible circumstances. It is humbling to stand alongside them and gratifying to see them receive the recognition they deserve.

The Taliban continue to point literal and metaphoric weapons at girls and women in Afghanistan every day, from public beatings to ruthless edicts that ban them from learning, working and living freely. The brutality of the Taliban’s oppressive system against women is so extreme that Afghan activists and human rights defenders are calling it gender apartheid.

Right now, Afghan women and girls need more than words of sympathy. I call on governments and influential institutions to leverage their power, and through international law, hold the Taliban accountable. I especially call on Muslim leaders and institutions to play a leading role in challenging the Taliban’s misuse of religion and culture.

Just as people stood with me and my friends more than a decade ago, I hope people will stand in solidarity with Afghan girls and women now.

'People need to remember why that street is called Nicholas Winton Street... Because there is a big generation – thanks to him – alive today.'

Kindertransportee Lady Milena Grenfell-Baines reflects on a Prague street being named after Sir Nicholas Winton.

it's Disability Pride month but the silence is loud.

still. proud of this little stack, and of the work of my disabled peers and friends.

it's not much fun. you're pigeon-holed, usually by people who don't read your work. people say awful things.

but it matters. always.

#OnThisDay in 1995, Bosnian Serb forces began deporting women, the elderly and children from the Bosnian town of Srebrenica.

What followed was the largest incidence of mass-murder in Europe since World War Two. #Srebrenica29

You made us dream.
You made us believe.
You made us cry.
And you made us proud.

[The Tennis Letter @TheTennisLetter]

Stunning photo of Andy Murray.

A moment usually reserved for the champion at the end of the event.

But he’s forever a champion at Wimbledon.

Hang it in The Louvre.
