Yesterday I made my first recipe as a part of my project over on Instagram @MorselofMemory: Mrs Beran’s Tobosch Torte.
I am making recipes written against the odds by the Czech Jewish women in the Theresienstadt ghetto as a way of connecting with them and learning their history.
It’s always exciting when your passions collide - it was a pleasure to photograph @TheIHRA Plenary in Glasgow this week.
It was inspiring to hear about all the work being done in the UK and across the world to keep the Holocaust #InPlainSight.
Congratulations to @EricPickles and the UK Presidency of @TheIHRA for an incredible week in Glasgow at the summer Plenary, where delegates showed unity and purpose in the face of rising antisemitism and distortion.
On the final day of @MOTL_UK_, we marched from Auschwitz I to Birkenau. Over 6,000 people walked side by side with Holocaust survivors, and what an honour it was!
The lessons I have learnt from this trip will stay with me forever. A truly incredible experience.
@HolocaustUK
I’ve been in Poland for the past few days for @MOTL_UK_ which marks Yom HaShoah. Today in Auschwitz I found my #yellowcandle, Masza Szenwald, in the Book of Names.
I’m thinking of Masza who died aged 5 during the Holocaust, her family, and all the others.
In light of today’s news, I’m reflecting on the times I was fortunate to have met and listened to Humza including the Service of Solidarity that the First Minister attended in October.
I’m grateful to have taken a photo that exemplifies his grace, humanity, and compassion.
I feel so blessed for having the opportunity so few are afforded — the chance to lead my country, and who could ask for a better country to lead than Scotland.
Thank you for all of the kind messages of love & support. I will always strive to serve Scotland in whatever way I can.

Our beloved Henry Wuga MBE - we have lost a giant.
The world has lost one of its greatest educators, and I’ve lost a friend.
Henry, every second with you was a privilege. Words cannot describe how much I’ll miss you.
My heart is broken today.
Meeting Henry Wuga was the honour of a lifetime. I will miss him, his smile, and of course his bowties for the rest of my life. His story lives on in everyone who was ever lucky enough to hear it - it will never be forgotten.
This week has been an absolute personal & professional highlight. I had the privilege of acting as host to Dr Martin Stern MBE as he visited Tayside schools (@StJohnsOfficial, @Grove_Academy, @BlairgowrieHS & @PitlochrySchool) to share his testimony with the students, teachers &
Henry Wuga MBE, a man who has not just witnessed history but has shaped it.
Delighted to be able to share a wee bit of his story and our friendship in @heraldscotland today on his 100th birthday.
Happy birthday Henry, it’s a privilege to call you a friend 💙

Proud to hand in my dissertation today called:
