Today I attended the Bournemouth and Poole Holocaust Memorial Day event at @LighthousePoole.
Thanks to Lynda Ford-Horne (pictured) and the Bournemouth and Poole Holocaust Committee she chairs for marking Holocaust Memorial Day 80 years after Auschwitz-Birkenau’s liberation.
Join us tomorrow @LighthousePoole ahead of the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz 2-4.30pm - (Tickets are free with a suggested donation of £5) 🕯️ #HMD2025
We must call out Antisemitism for what it is: hatred.
Tonight, I set a new national ambition. For the first time, studying the Holocaust will become a critical part of every student’s identity.
We will make sure that the Holocaust is never forgotten, and never again repeated.
Today I am visiting @HolocaustCentUK and hope to hold my grandmother’s handbag, the only item my mother had of hers, which she donated to the museum and never told
me about. How’s that for #Holocaust survivor #trauma?
This #antisemitism on the streets of #London is having a positive effect on me. I stand up straight with my shoulders back so that my Star of David necklace is in full view. I’ve struggled with bad posture all my life and now it’s better than ever before.
Mala Tribich MBE spent the war in hiding in Poland & then in Ravensbrück & Bergen-Belsen concentration camps. All her family except her brother were murdered. Today she is a powerful Holocaust educator.
"Talking about my experiences was a very gradual process…"

I am horrified by the killing of innocent children. My mother’s twin sister was murdered when she was six years old… for being a Jew. That is why I stand with Israel’s right to defend itself and do whatever it needs to do to bring home the innocent hostages #Istandwithisreal
