The #CampdesMilles has a thought-provoking display of the work of #JoannSfar, who shows the common reactions of French Jews and Arabs to what is happening in the Israel and Gaza.

I love this Provençal Christmas tradition: the entire hillside village and all its animals get to be part of the nativity scene. You can buy everything from cats to stone houses and wise men to drunk landlords! #Christmas #Provence #nativity #CulturalHeritage

This week I’ve been at a #UNESCO workshop in Aix en Provence, at the former internment and transit camp of Camp des Milles, which has a very impressive heritage presentation dedicated to genocide prevention. 👏🏻👏🏻

Yeah, those awful antifascists in Weimar who were...fighting the Nazis.

Incredible.
Jack Posobiec references the earliest version of antifa -- the anti-fascists in the Weimar Republic who were opposed to the Nazi Party -- as the bad guys.

The famous #Gellert thermal baths in #Budapest is closing for renovations at the end of this month and will open again in 2028. So I spent 3 hours swimming, steaming, dozing, sauna-ing and even conking out in a room with camp beds provided. That will be my last chance for relaxation till Christmas!

A real privilege to be at a live performance of the #Roma Auschwitz song in the middle of a concert by a Hungarian Roma band at the #Budapest #Holocaust centre last night. I’ve seen recordings before but never heard it live. Google it to hear this haunting song.

Reminder that if you go to a rally with a bunch of Nazis, you are, in fact, participating in a Nazi rally.

The final #Stolpersteine in #Jersey is for Canon Clifford Cohu, rector of St Saviour and leader of a group who listened to and spread the #BBC news. He was murdered in #Zöchen camp by a guard, picked on for being British. 🙏 to @jerseyheritage.bsky.social for their support. 📷 Chris Addy & Ruth Mandel

Final day of #Stolpersteine laying in #Jersey and last few stones. This one is laid for George Fox who stole food from the Germans to feed his family and paid for it with his life. He died in #Naumburg Prison. His niece and great nephew helped lay the stone.

Visited the graves of Lucy Schwob / Claude Cahun and Suzanne Malherbe / Marcel Moore in #Jersey today. And to the right, in dark pink granite: the grave of Aliens Officer Clifford Orange, who was assiduous in registering Jews in the island during the #Occupation.

I went to see the #Stolpersteine stones laid last year for Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore, #Surrealist artists who lived in #Jersey from the 1930s and whose work is currently on show at the #Belvedere in #Vienna!

The final #Stolperstein today is for a real heroine in #Jersey. Louisa Gould was murdered in #Ravensbrück for the offence of sheltering a Russian slave labourer from a nearby camp. Her brother, Harold Le Druillenec, helped her and survived #Bergen-Belsen. He received a stone last year.

Next here in #Jersey we have laid a #Stolpersteine to Edward Muels, whose family gave shelter to a German soldier who was a Jehovah’s Witness. The soldier had accidentally shot another soldier. Muels was deported to and died in a Nazi prison in Germany of ‘heart weakness’.

The next #Stolpersteine in #Jersey are for Jean and Marcel Rossi, deported for refusing to work for the Germans and having Italian ancestry. They experienced #Gross-Rosen, #Blechhammer and #Hersbruck concentration camps. Marcel died on a forced march.
