What a lovely message to begin the day. I had an amazing teacher at college so her impact is still being felt. I wouldn't be doing what I'm doing if it wasn't for her. If I impact one life the way she did mine I'll be happy. – at Scunthorpe, England

Tonight I'm leading an exploration into Historic Antisemitism. Be interesting to see if any extra turn up tonight. – at Scunthorpe, England
Tonight's evening class seems to have gone well. They want to continue exploring the complexity of the Holocaust next week. Someone asked a question so we'll explore Historic Antisemitism. – at Scunthorpe, England

We're live! After a welcoming message from @chiefrabbi, our host Natasha Kaplinsky OBE welcomes survivor Mala Tribich MBE. #MalaLive
I am looking forward to the opportunity to explore something new. Following discussions with family and friends I will be leading evening classes that delve into various aspects of the Holocaust. I’m surprised by how little was/is taught about such a significant period in history

I found the talk to be both engaging and insightful, focusing on a remarkably well-written book. The book has certainly influenced my approach to source analysis with my students. Thank you to everyone involved in organising this event.
Fascinating to join @UCL_Holocaust 'Dialogues in Holocaust Education' session w/ Prof Wendy Lower.
Clarity, deep knowledge & insight.
Especially powerful re: images & raising Qs for their use in Holocaust T&L.
'The Ravine' has revolutionised our
#HolocaustbyBullets teaching.

Sydney. Again. Another suburb with a large Jewish community and multiple Jewish communal facilities. No one just vandalises a car with a racist slogan. It is the product of endless incitement, demonisation and a belief that such attitudes are freely permitted, even celebrated.
