Tonight a challenge - and it's not Lego related. Does anyone recognise the person in this photo, or the distinctive room? We're trying to help Charlotte Mason trace the owner of a GoPro she found back in 2022. The GoPro was found in Scotland, but Charlotte thinks the owner may be Italian.
28 March 1935 | Dutch Jewish boy, Jacob Leefsma, was born in Leeuwarden.
He was deported to #Auschwitz from #Westerbork in February 1944. He was murdered in a gas chamber after arrival selection.
21 years ago today Rachel Corrie was killed by Israel in Gaza.
A letter to Rachel’s mother dated February 27th, 2003:
"Love you. Really miss you. I have bad nightmares about tanks and bulldozers outside our house and you and me inside. Sometimes the adrenaline acts as an aesthetic for weeks and then in the evening or at night it just hits me again - a little bit of the reality of the situation. I am really scared for the people here. Yesterday, I watched a father lead his two tiny children, holding his hands, out into the sight of tanks and a sniper tower and bulldozers and Jeeps because he thought his house was going to be exploded...
I was terrified to think that this man felt it was less of a risk to walk out in view of the tanks with his kids than to stay in his house. I was really scared that they were all going to be shot and I tried to stand between them and the tank. This happens every day, but just this father walking out with his two little kids just looking very sad, just happened to get my attention more at this particular moment...
When I come back from Palestine, I probably will have nightmares and constantly feel guilty for not being here, but I can channel that into more work. Coming here is one of the better things I've ever done. So when I sound crazy, or if the Israeli military should break with their racist tendency not to injure white people, please pin the reason squarely on the fact that I am in the midst of a genocide which I am also indirectly supporting, and for which my government is largely responsible.
I love you and Dad...”

Brianna Ghey’s father:
“Being a father of a transgender child was a difficult thing to deal with, but even though I grieved the son I lost, I was proud to gain another beautiful daughter.”
And there we have it.
It isn’t difficult to understand.
Nothing to be scared of.

We, descendants of Holocaust survivors, call on the world on this Holocaust Remembrance Day to join us in working to end the Israeli government’s genocide against the Palestinian people, enabled and supported by the US government.
Huge news! I've written you a book. You can order it from Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Waterstones etc..
It's the book I wished someone had given me. It's the only book you need to quit art school or never go!
I hope it helps get your ideas out there! https://t.co/KNfpD5Ms7e
