Some photos from @MaikenUmbach‘s powerful talk yesterday at the South Hampstead United Synagogue in London on facing the challenges of antisemitism. Maiken is chief advisor to the National Holocaust Centre whose director, Marc Cave, introduced the lecture.

Piece by piece, the exhibition is coming together at the Torton factory… ‘I Say British, You Say Jewish’. I say ‘Ready yet?’ You say ‘Stop chasing, it will be fine!’

the craven cowardice of this appalling act doesn't modify its gross anti-semitism; the removal of basic rights of Judaism to celebrate a joyous festival with its community - unless of course theyre banning Christmas trees and nativity displays too. Make a hell of a noise Russell

I'm a member of Romford synagogue in @LBofHavering I'm disgusted by the Leader of the Council claiming that a menorah to celebrate the festival of Chanukah would "risk further inflaming tensions within our communities". I've seen a lot of things in this job but this is up there

Our Chief Academic Advisor @MaikenUmbach on @NickFerrariLBC radio show today. Denial of the October 7 massacre by Hamas might not be on the scale of Holocaust denial. But what's behind it anyway? (1 of 2):

We are receiving images of a kosher restaurant that was vandalised overnight in Golders Green. Local residents report that “Free Palestine” was graffitied on a nearby bridge. Violence against Israel is often used as a pretext for antisemitism in the UK. Jews must be able to…

Despite the pain on both sides of the conflict, it is hard to see how Hamas’  kidnap, rape & murder of civilians is a step towards any kind of solution.  An elderly Holocaust survivor is among the hostages.   To gloat about these actions brings shame to British streets.


Lovely to see the work of the @HolocaustCentUK on combatting antisemitism on campus featured in this new report. Thanks to @JewishAnglo for supporting us!

This report is accompanied by a ‘Good Practice Guide’ which takes examples of good practice from various institutions to demonstrate how universities can best support Jewish students and staff on campus antisemitism.org.uk/wp-content/upl…

May we all come together in good times as well as bad. Heartfelt condolences to our friends at @UniofNottingham and above all to the families of Grace, Barnaby and the as yet unnamed third victim of this senseless killing. #NottinghamTogether @MaikenUmbach

I’m lost for words. What a credit to @UniofNottingham students and the city as a whole at such an incredibly sad time

Great talk by Mark Rusling Director of Learning @HolocaustCentUK about how experiential processes and emotional persuasion has to happen to engage those at the most invidious end of this conspiracy theory funnel

But what makes a photo Jewish? Is it just a question of who held the camera? On 31st October we welcome @MaikenUmbach, Professor of Modern History @UniofNottingham currently advising @HolocaustCentUK, for a fascinating talk: What is Jewish Photography? tinyurl.com/2p9eh76e
