Making art the traditional way. No computers no photos. Just metal tools model and Clay. The uniform is 100 years old dating back to WW1.. our history is our culture. That is what makes us a country, a people and unifies us.

#OTD in 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire ripped through a NYC garment factory. It remains one of the worst industrial disasters in US history & was a turning point for workers’ rights & safety regulations.

A new memorial was dedicated last fall: https://t.co/yecGhrFsZx

From 1940 to 1944, Corrie ten Boom and her family used their home in the Netherlands as a hiding place for Jews fleeing the Nazis.

They had built a safe room in their home above the family shop on Barteljorisstraat in the Dutch city of Haarlem.

There, Corrie ten Boom, her sister, and their father would save the lives of some 800 Jews fleeing the Nazis.

The ten Boom family joined the Dutch resistance after Germany invaded the Netherlands in 1940.

Guided by their religious beliefs, they quietly funneled desperate Jewish refugees to safety.

But in 1944, an informer sent the Nazis straight to their door. Corrie ten Boom survived her time in concentration camps — barely — but her father and sister did not.

Once the war ended, she set up a rehabilitation clinic for Holocaust survivors, preached the power of forgiveness, and wrote books about her experience.

It is fantastic to see the wonderful Remembrance artwork by the talented pupils at Montem Academy in Slough. The children participated in a Jacqueline Hurley inspired art workshop at their school and produced these amazing creations.Well done to everyone involved! @MontemAcademy

She asked to get her picture taken with me.
If you need me I’ll be melted into this sidewalk.
