84 years ago Nikita Khrushchev moved into a house opposite my Dad’s and proceeded to destroy my family’s life. The Soviets took their home, their business, their money and their liberty. After years in captivity they ended up refugees in a small house in Hendon Central.

The Soviet aim was to equalise mankind by levelling flat its civic leaders. A mad and evil plan.

My father started again, built a life as an academic. His son @profserious is now Sir Anthony. And yesterday my sister @TamFinkelstein became Dame Tamara. I’m so proud of her.

And proud too that the Soviet design failed so completely.

On this one day in 1943, 18,000 Jews were shot in Majdanek camp while dance music was played through loud speakers to cover the screams. Nov 3-4 at least 42,000 altogether were shot in Majdanek and Trawniki and other locations near Lublin. Remember them

Yahya Sinwar was a brutal murderer and terrorist who was bent on eradicating Israel and its people. As mastermind behind the October 7 terror attacks, he brought death to thousands of people and immeasurable suffering across an entire region. - @ABaerbock 1/2

The entire Jewish community mourns the passing of Lily Ebert Z''L. May her memory be for eternal blessing.

Don’t ask if I’m ok. I don’t have an answer.

Don’t ask if I need anything. I don’t know.

Don’t ask how the girls are. I’m doing everything so they will be healthy & happy.

Don’t ask where I am. I’m still on that kitchen floor, holding the girls, watching Omri being taken.

Here is al-Jazeera’s contribution to today. An anchorman with 2m+ followers says: The Hamas Massacre of Jews on 7 October ‘is the day that restored the umma's [Muslim community's] dignity and status."

UK Israeli hostage has been 'forgotten', says mum https://t.co/p6RtsakJ8v

[Board of Deputies of British Jews @BoardofDeputies]

"I would like to feel that the British public were behind her, and the British Government were behind her, and that they were saying that there is a British hostage held captive in the terror tunnels by Hamas in Gaza. I want them to know that she's there."Emily Damari's mum Mandy

If you’re Jewish and not with your family or congregation today, remember that you are part of a community that is not bound to a physical location. An eternally unified people, impossible to divide, committed to a set of undying principles. Shana Tova.

Not a single Jewish or Israeli victim of terror was included in the United Nations' exhibit on international victims of terrorism.

So we have to ask, when it comes to the @UN, do Jews not count?

Fantastic News! Particular thanks to @AndrewGilbert1 & Adrian Cohen. Proud of @JewishLondon's role in championing better transport links

[Daniel Finkelstein @Dannythefink]

In Hitler, Stalin, Mum and Dad I tell the story of the work my grandfather did to expose this as a forgery and how his work, essential to a famous trial, was only partly successful. He’d be depressed but unsurprised to find it still on sale.

This is great news, Anthony is a stalwart defender of Jewish communities across Canada and the world, and who I was proud to work with in my role at the @BoardofDeputies

[Anthony Housefather @AHousefather]

Grateful to be appointed as Prime Minister’s Special Advisor on Jewish Community Relations and Antisemitism. Jewish Canadians need to feel safe in our communities, on campus and in Canadian life. 1/2

[Richard Marceau @richardmarceau]

This antisemitic attack on Liberal MP @AHousefather is *completely* unacceptable. Period.

SeniorVP Adrian Cohen, Parli and Intl Affairs Officer David Robinson and former SVP @dgmwolfson today met with Rüdiger Bohn and Susanne Frane from @GermanEmbassy to thank him for his help and kindness during his UK posting. We wish him all the best for his next role in Vienna!

[Dave Rich @daverich1]

If your first reaction to this story is not utter horror at the alleged crime itself & what it says about wider antisemitism, but to complain that a news report attacks your political 'side' - maybe you aren't the principled opponent of antisemitism that you think you are.

Representing the UK's Jewish community as SVP of the Board was an honour and a privilege. Thank you to all those who have me support... and shabbat shalom!

Today is Yom HaShoah, the day in the Jewish calendar we remember the six million murdered by the Nazis.

We must remember, and never forget.
