@Voices_news @SimonGregson75 @RachelRileyRR Ahhhh. Indeed. It partnered Fragile Fire - the story of the Warsaw ghetto uprising. Resistance and rescue narratives that highlight the best that humans can be in a climate where the worst so horrendously dominated The landscape of Europe.

[Cate Hollis @Voices_Cate]

@RachelRileyRR Thankyou for the share! @Voices_news is right - Under The Apple Tree was a youth piece that we created back in 2014/15. It partnered our professional touring production of Fragile Fire - the resistance narrative of the Warsaw ghetto uprising.

Incredible feedback so far from both the conference and schools. Look forward to hearing more. Such an incredibly special team that make this beautiful work happen. <3

After the performance, our actors Olivia Night, May Lopez, Harry Freeman & Christian Peterson engaged with the students in a Q and A session . Voices were delighted to perform at the @UniKent as part of their BIAHS conference, where @Voices_Cate will speak on 4th July.

Wonderful to hear sessions on the final day of the @AuschwitzMuseum International conference in Poland. @Voices_Cate found the session on Memorial sites and Memory of Atrocities with @OliviaRMW OBE @HMD_UK to be very poignant. #holocaust

@Voices_news @AuschwitzMuseum @OliviaRMW @HMD_UK @ABMFusa @yadvashem @yadvashemUK @TheAJR_ @eurojewcong It really was an exceptional final day drawing together some of the key themes and ideas discussed throughout the conference. And absolutely fabulous to spend some time with @OliviaRMW and many others talking about our work in the field.

Cate Hollis @Voices_Cate (our Artistic Director and Education Lead) spent Day 2 at the REmember @AuschwitzMuseum International Educational Conference in Poland. Cate listened to various panel sessions and attended important seminars on #Holocaust education and memory.

@Voices_news @AuschwitzMuseum @ICM_UW @UniLeidenNews @L3F_ICT_RUH_OU @CharlesUniPRG Really looking forward to liaising with Dr Hajska on the next Voices’ play. Lovely lady and extraordinary specialist in her field :)

[VoicesoftheHolocaust @Voices_news]

💜Our Artistic Director @Voices_Cate is attending REmember International Educational Conference at @AuschwitzMuseum in Poland. It's special for Cate to attend on behalf of Voices as it addresses our entire mission acting as a surrogate voice to those who died in the Holocaust.

As always @RobbieRinder expresses it better than I ever could. Appalling and frightening scenes yet again. And allowed to be screened on our national TV screens.

At Glastonbury yesterday, a band called for “inshallah, from the river to the sea.” The crowd cheered. When I hear that phrase chanted with joy, I feel fear and - whoever you are - so should you.

Most people don’t understand what it means. But it’s been used for decades by those who want to erase Jews from where their language, faith & indigenous culture began. A place that was meant to offer refuge when the rest of the world shut its door.

I’ve spoken out against injustice & unbearable loss. I’ve made work about the ‘Nakba’ & the ongoing trauma of Palestinians.

But “from the river to the sea” doesn’t call for peace.

It calls for a world without Jews. You can stand for Palestinian rights without denying Jewish ones. You can oppose a government without wishing away a people. If your activism leaves no room for someone else’s safety, grief or history it’s not activism. It’s hate.

@KarenPollock100 Bit bloomin late BBC. Quelle surprise…

[Cate Hollis @Voices_Cate]

Fabulous first day @AuschwitzMuseum international education conference. Some really interesting lectures and panel discussions. #REmember Is Memory Enough in the 21st Century. Looking forward to tomorrow and more incredibly thought provoking sessions.

[Cate Hollis @Voices_Cate]

For crying out loud. The world’s gone mad.

"Thank you for bringing Kindness to our theatre yesterday. The matinee performance was brilliant & I've been told the evening was even better. Audience members said "That was so extraordinary, so powerful, we thought it was incredibly moving."- Jason Lower @theatre_wells

[Cate Hollis @Voices_Cate]

So proud of this little charity that does such profoundly important work and so delighted that we could share @Kinloss_US with Michael Newman OBE from @TheAJR_ sharing such important reflections in the evening. And, of course the incredible Susan Pollack OBE who we love dearly <3

[VoicesoftheHolocaust @Voices_news]

In partnership with @Kinloss_US @UnitedSynagogue we were delighted to visit North London for performances of Kindness: A Legacy of the Holocaust (@Voices_Cate @MarkWheeller). We're humbled that survivor Susan Pollack OBE, whose testimony is used, spoke to 170 students!

[VoicesoftheHolocaust @Voices_news]

As #VolunteersWeek has come to an end, we wanted to say a big thank you to all of our volunteers, the unsung heroes of Voices! Every person who volunteers with us means so much to us. Every volunteer to us is precious, but we would like to highlight - Russell Hey and Cara Jones.

[Cate Hollis @Voices_Cate]

@Voices_news @TheAJR_ @MarkWheeller @eurojewcong @Gen2GenUK @45AidSociety These two humans are incredible. They’ve given hundreds of hours because they care so deeply for our cause. Russ’ birthday has just passed and Cara’s is today so HUGE felicitations and thank yous to two most special people who have helped us to get to where we are today xxxx

[Cate Hollis @Voices_Cate]

PRIDE MONTH. As the daughter of a gay man oppressed by fear because of racist, sexist, homophobic parents all I can say is that we MUST stand up together. Transphobia MUST be rooted out and we MUST support our LGBTQ+ community. Now more than ever xxx

THIS DAY in 1954, Alan Turing took his own life.

Helped to win WWII. Saved 100s of 1000s of lives.
Created the first Electronic Computer.

A True Genius of his time.

Driven to desperate measures by a Society that didn't understand a different sexuality.

[VoicesoftheHolocaust @Voices_news]

@Voices_Cate @MarkWheeller Our #volunteers have been doing important jobs for us including research into Harry's story for his survivor testimony play. Alice also came on tour with our actors too! Thank you to each and every one of you who works with Voices & give so much!
