Mala Tribich MBE survived the Holocaust and was liberated almost 81 years ago. As the Holocaust passes from living memory into history, today’s meeting with the Prime Minister and Cabinet is a poignant reminder of the responsibility to confront anti-Jewish hatred and ensure that the legacies of Holocaust survivors endure.
Massive thanks to @JeremyRBalfour for teaching the Modern Studies Students at Broughton all day today. It's so important for them to speak to someone who is a member of the @ScotParl. @BroughtonHighPC

An honour to meet Mala Tribich MBE today and hear her remarkable testimony.
Her strength and determination to share her story, 80 years on from liberation, is humbling.
We owe it to survivors like Mala to remember, and to ensure future generations do the same.

National History - women and the vote. Suffragettes protesting outside Duke Street Prison, Glasgow in 1914. From 1882, Duke Street Prison was the main prison for women in Scotland, and many suffragettes were held there.

A tram ride through a vanished world. An incredible film showing Bradford, England, in 1902.
Students that went with @MercatTours share their experiences at @BroHighOfficial Assemblies this week. They spoke movingly about the horrors of war and importance of peace.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning; we will remember them. #RemembranceDay
When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today". #wewillrememberthem #RemembranceDay @BroHighOfficial @BroughtonHighPC
We are wearing red today in support of the thousands of teachers who do not have a permanent contract. Only 1/4 of newly qualified teachers are being given permanent contracts leading to instability in their own lives and inconsistency to the pupils they teach. @EISUnion
