Yesterday saw a tree planting for #HolocaustMemorialDay @TheAJR_ in Ilfracombe in memory of George Rosney who served in the Pioneer Corps there in WW2. It’s a tribute to all his fellow refugees who served with him @robinlustig @MDS347 @joshklustig @DrCWeissenberg @ilfmuseum

Pioneer Corps in Ilfracombe in 1940 featured many Jewish musicians and artists who had fled Nazi Germany. Their performances raised money for our local hospital and enriched Ilfracombe society @DrHelenFry #jewishhistory #HMD2022 #refugeeswelcome #devonmuseums
