270 family members lived through WWII; 140 did not survive. These aren't just numbers, they are names like Rachel and Levie. Over the years I’ve mapped my family's history to ensure their stories aren't lost to time. #HolocaustRemembrance#4mei#Dodenherdenking
An ultra Orthodox man doing his job as a building inspector was working in Slough when he was physically attacked by a total stranger screaming ‘baby killer’ and ‘dirty mother f*cking Jew’ at him.
A friend of his has sent me this video telling me the man is now ‘afraid to leave his area, he is terrified for his life.’
As the most visibly obvious Jews, the community has extra security where they live but are increasingly frightened to leave their neighbourhood.
‘It is devastating that Jewish people can’t go anywhere without a high risk of being attacked,’ I was told.
🚔 @ThamesVP are investigating and seeking witnesses to the attack on Monday afternoon in Slough.

@LodewijkA een kort overzicht van onze familie in de Shoa. @Shmuli dank voor het uitzoeken. Moge hun zielen gebonden worden in bundel van het eeuwige leven!
I was Born and raised in the Netherlands, went this very school that was attacked. I still have many relatives there, that are in this school daily. Unfortunately security has been very much needed.
A bomb just hit a Jewish school in Amsterdam.
A few years ago the Netherlands had a good relationship with Jews.
Then they imported lots of people who hate the west, Israel and Jews.
Israeli visitors became unsafe.
And then their Jewish schools started exploding.
TIMELINE OF ANTISEMITISM IN AMSTERDAM SINCE 10/7: 🧵
Jan, 2024: A pro-Hamas mob attacked a group of Jewish students at University of Amsterdam during a Holocaust Remembrance Day event.
A synagogue brutally attacked yesterday, a Jewish school today. We commend our Dutch allies for their efforts to find and punish these cowards. School should be a place of learning and peace, never of fear. Antisemitic violence should outrage everyone.
We stand with the Jewish community today and every day.
@Dani_Blek@VerminusM Born and raised there, was a student in this very school that was attacked. I still have many relatives there, that are in this school daily. The immigration was already going on in full force over 40 years ago. This problem has only been getting worse.
