Hoy, Diciembre 5, cada día voy a publicar una foto bastante especial hasta el 27 de Enero. Cuando recorro las calles de #París, cada colegio es un doloroso recuerdo de la persecución de judíos durante la 2da guerra mundial en Francia [...] flic.kr/p/R56unn
Desde la ocupación en 1940, y bajo el gobierno de Vichy la policía francesa persiguió a judíos y gitanos. En 1942 comienza la deportación a los campos de concentración. Este proceso termina en 1944 apenas días antes de la liberación de París [...] en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Holoc…
De los 340000 judíos franceses viviendo en Francia continental, 75000 fueron deportados... 72500 jamas regresaron. Poco es el consuelo de saber que Francia es el país en que mas judíos sobrevivieron al holocausto flic.kr/p/L7FZxv [...]
1/6 We document trends and levels in mortality indicators. But our family of databases is actually bigger #HMD #STMF #poptwitter #mortality #epitwitter 👇 mortality.org
2/6 The main HMD collection includes data coming from national vital registration system with near complete coverage, with an apparent low degree of age bias, and that require little to no modeling. The collection includes currently 41 populations. 
3/6 Now for the first time ever we are also monitoring weekly mortality levels in as close to real time as we can for 19 countries -and growing!

Short thread on the disrespect & cynical manipulation of #HMD by @UCU
The UCU is the major trade union for University academic staff in the UK. It has long been captured by the hard Left, is obsessively “anti-Zionist” and has been regularly accused of institutional antisemitism

@ucu So it comes as little surprise to learn that the Sheffield branch of UCU @sheffielducu has planned a meeting to mark Holocaust Memorial Day that is wholly concerned with excusing and/or minimising antisemitism.
@ucu @sheffielducu The invite begins: “Please join Sheffield UCU in commemorating Holocaust Memorial Day” and is supported by the local TUC branch.
The UCU event is a talk by a fringe, Leftist Jewish academic – Brian Klug.

Many don't consider what happened to Holocaust survivors after camps were liberated, especially the thousands of orphaned children that had survived.
In 1945, 732 of them were brought to the UK to recuperate and begin a new life.

The 732 child survivors were brought to the UK by the Central British fund, now @WJRelief, who also organised the Kindertransport scheme.
The CBF lobbied the government, who agreed to grant the children two year visas provided not a cent was spent on them

Money to care for the child survivors was raised privately, largely by the Jewish community.
The 732 children, of whom only 80 were girls, were sent to hostels around the UK. Their story is the forgotten final chapter of the Kindertransport scheme.

“My people were brought here chains. Your people were driven here to escape the chains fashioned for them in Europe. Our unity is born of our common struggle for centuries, not only to rid ourselves of bondage, but to make oppression of any people an impossibility,”MLK #Holocaust
"There are Hitlers loose in America in the World today in both in high and low places, As the tensions and bewilderment of economic problems become more severe, history scapegoats, the Jews, will be joined by new scapegoats, the Blacks." MLK #HolocaustMemorialDay
"The Hitlers will seek to divert people’s minds and turn their frustrations and anger to the helpless ... Whether the Black man and Jew shall live in peace will depend upon ... how effectively they reach the minds of the decent human beings to halt this deadly diversion." #HMD
Tomorrow is Holocaust Memorial Day #HMD2019 Many of my relatives were murdered in the Holocaust solely for being Jews. Some also survived due to the extraordinary actions of people who showed the best of humanity 1/
The following pays testament to a few of those relatives who were victims of the Holocaust & also to my sister-in-law’s family, who were victims of the Cambodian genocide & 18 year old H’s family murdered in the Sudanese genocide #hmd 2/
My dad Len fled Nazi Germany alone aged 13 in 1936, when his father sent him to England. Arrested on his 16th birthday, the British interned him in Canada as an ‘enemy alien’. His school championed Len’s cause & he was sent back to the UK. He's now a lovely 95 yr old #HMD 3/
A thread on #LabourAntisemitism: We now see @UKLabour ‘moderate’ MPs who formerly opposed @jeremycorbyn’s leadership, led by former front-benchers such as @hilarybennmp and @YvetteCooperMP fighting to prevent a ‘No-deal’ #Brexit. 1
We see that on an issue where they hold principled views, they will explore all avenues: defying party policy; working across party lines; exploiting parliamentary loopholes and even defying constitutional conventions. They have demonstrated great resourcefulness 2
Yet after Corbyn’s 2nd leadership victory they folded like a house of cards and fell in line, knowing his politics was antisemitic, allowing their avowed ‘anti-racist’ party to become institutionally antisemitic, as they knew it would. 3
