2nd day of IWM war and conflict SSN. Great to meet the exhibition team and hear about the survivor stories that make up @Holocaust_Hud exhibition (which is very much worth visiting). Fascinating to listen to the plans for the new Holocaust galleries @I_W_M.

Thoughtful discussions at today’s @I_W_M War and Conflict SSN workshop on traumatic histories @Holocaust_Hud. Compelling talk by Iby Knill on her personal experiences of Nazi persecution.

Fantastic final panel discussions, from grand historical narratives of the 1914-18 conflict, to the need to integrate newly discovered local and global histories. And this great illustration of our discussions! @Hidden_Hist @Voices_WW1

Final panel discussion: Why Remember? Are anniversaries useful hooks for commemoration? Or can they be limiting? @Hidden_Hist @Voices_WW1

We're delighted that #TheyShallNotGrowOld won the Innovation award with @I_W_M at the #MandHAwards! Peter Jackson's film won for being “ground breaking" and for its "huge impact"

Thanks @KatyBeeGreen - and great to meet you and hear your talk about how family historians can deal with the difficult pasts that they uncover - a neglected but important topic in the current memory studies literature.
Dr Allwork and Dr Hunt sharing their research on trauma and shellshock - fascinating #FamilyTreeLive
