Last month, I returned from the USA after an amazing fellowship @ushmm.bsky.social

It was an honour to work on my research as the Miles Lerman Centre for the Study of Jewish Resistance Research Fellow and achieve so much.

Thank you to everyone who made it such a memorable time!

Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay

Today, we came together to remember those murdered during the Holocaust, Nazi Persecution, and in subsequent genocides.

We learned from the past and committed ourselves to working for a better future.

A difficult but inspiring morning with @uscshoahfoundation.bsky.social and the Adir Challenge today, discussing online antisemitism.

While others turn their backs, organisations like these are rising to the challenge.
