Professor Gilly Carr OBE

On #HMD we remember the victims of the Holocaust and actively choose to build a world that remembers.

Yesterday survivor Mala Tribich MBE spoke to Ruth-Anne Lenga & @gillycarr.bsky.social & 300+ online listeners about her life, before, during, &after the Holocaust.
This was a joint HMD event between @uclholocaust.bsky.social @cam.ac.uk - the first of more partnerships in the future.

My latest article is out in the journal 'Protection of Cultural Heritage' on the subject of Holocaust heritage and inauthenticity. It's open access, so just click here to read it.

It was Luminaria at @stcatharines.bsky.social this evening: the choir sang carols while we ate mince pies and drank mulled wine. #Christmas #Cambridge #Catz

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. 👏🏻👏🏻

Yes it is, Terry! But the autumn term is always extra stressful. But you must be enjoying your one big sabbatical now!

Happy birthday, Terry!

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

(Also, Jack Posobiec literally spent his time in the Navy watching other guys pee)

Aha! Eat some truffles for me in Bologna!

There’s a chap who could strain his wine through his moustache! Who knew the #Celts came as far as #Budapest! #Celticcustoms

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.

The memorial to the murdered #Roma of #Hungary in #Budapest. It has gashes on the side and a mutilated golden statue inside.

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.

Not quite sure what is being emptied at St Brelade’s Bay in #Jersey!

The #Jersey house of #surrealist artists Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore and the sea wall at the end of their garden built by slave labour during the German Occupation.

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!

Memorial stone laid outside Town Hall - Jersey Evening Post The first stolpersteine memorial stone in the second phase of the project to commemorate Islanders persecuted by the Nazis has been installed outside St Helier Town Hall. The stone was laid in memory ...

Good to see coverage in the @jerseyeveningpost.com.web.brid.gy about #Stolpersteine laying:

@mattpope.bsky.social La Cotte is looking fine today!

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.

Second #Stolpersteine in #Jersey today is for 17 year old James Houillebecq, who stole German weapons and hid them in his garden 💪🏻💪🏻. He died in #Neuengamme concentration camp.

Third day of #Stolpersteine laying in #jersey. The nephew of John Nicolle, named after him, holds his stone. Nicolle was deported for spreading the BBC news and died in #Dortmund after an #RAF raid on his prison.
