This year, #HolocaustMemorialDay had a greater reach and impact than ever before.
Thank you to everyone who organised or took part in one of more than 11,000 local activities which took place across the UK.
Tonight we were joined by Noemie Lopian, @Dannythefink & @bbcnickrobinson who discussed Holocaust education, denial & the importance of testimony. Many thanks to all who joined us.
Don't miss a blog written for HMDT by Noemie Bornstein Lopian, who has launched @holocaustmatter sharing the experiences of her father, a survivor of the Holocaust. https://t.co/AN9S5Bopsp
Interesting academic perspective on Polish law attempting to whitewash Holocaust history. We are concerned it will hamper our research enquiries into the story of survivor Ernst Bornstein for educational purposes. https://t.co/c5LfI1WsJX
Criminalising suggestions that Poland was complicit in German atrocities during World War II denies history and will hinder scholarship

Ernst’s wife and daughter share their anguish at discovering the Nazi past of their father’s mentor Prof Mikorey. Interviewed by @BBCNews@BBCNWT https://t.co/kDeiPFBCFS
We too are worried that the Polish legislation will frustrate efforts, such as ours, to understand and educate about Holocaust history in Poland. @IHRA_news https://t.co/NQOg3ybgga
You can book now to attend @I_W_M event on how Ernst’s memoirs support the principles of their new Holocaust galleries & how they will reinterpret the Holocaust narrative for 21C audiences. https://t.co/L6BfXIr8ZC
We're starting to build our https://t.co/KFUDcmvAGA. If anyone can point us to video footage of Grunheide, Markstadt, Funfteichen, Gross Rosen, Flossenburg, Leonberg or Muhldorf camps or survivors' testimonies from these then please let us know.
Just heard excellent interview with Ernst Bornstein's daughter on the Sunday progamme, BBC Radio 4. Fascinating life & valuable insight into the human spirit's perseverance during/after the Holocaust. https://t.co/dCTDPrpqTo https://t.co/VmJnbGxhjJ
We have encountered a reluctance among Polish descendants of people mentioned in Ernst Bornstein’s memoirs to speak to us about the Holocaust - even those whose relatives are mentioned in positive terms. Self censorship. #PowerOfWords https://t.co/GegDTElMEV
Appalling. Polish Parliament Votes to Criminalize Any Mention of Polish Crimes During the Holocaust
The bill, which applies to both Poles and foreigners alike, would also make it illegal to use the term 'Polish death camp' anywhere in the world
