“This to me is evolution right here, where people are putting all their differences aside,” Stripling said. “This is where we become a superpower.”—Recipient of a bicycle he received during an Abrahamic Alliance International (AAi) compassion event in Gilroy

“Guests were moved emotionally in part because volunteers honored them. Instead of lining up to get meals, guests sat down at tables already set for them. Volunteers waited on them restaurant-style.”

"“#Eldercide: Older #Jews and the #Holocaust,” a new #exhibition at the #London #library, shines a spotlight on this oft-forgotten demographic. Co-curated by Schmidt and Stone, the show draws on photographs, documents, rare recordings and family heirlooms to illustrate the richness of its subjects’ lives, which started in the shadow of the #IndustrialRevolution and, for many, ended in #Nazi gas chambers. “Eldercide” also examines the unique predicaments that older Jews faced both during and after the war.

While today’s visitors to the library might associate the phrase “elderly Jews” with the roughly 220,800 Holocaust survivors still living in 2025, these individuals were relatively young during World War II."

Elderly Jews Were Among the Most Likely to Die in the Holocaust. Why Has History Forgotten About the Genocide's Oldest Victims?

A new exhibition at London's Wiener Holocaust Library spotlights the unique challenges faced by European Jews who were over the age of 55 during World War II

"What I have witnessed over the past year is exhausting and, at times, devastating. These attitudes—casual, unexamined, and pervasive—are the earliest seeds of social fragmentation. I know what it looks like when a society begins to break apart; I have seen it with my own eyes. The process always starts long before the collapse becomes visible.

#Antisemitism is not fundamentally about Israel. It is about the right of #Jews to live without suspicion, stigma, or fear. It is about the moral obligation to defend their existence and dignity without hesitation.

There is something profoundly frightening about living in a society where people must constantly insist they are not responsible for actions they never took, for conflicts they did not cause, for crimes they did not commit—simply because they are #Jewish. That burden is impossible to describe unless you carry it."

“During this #feast, they make these special pancakes, or bread, and part of the #holy ceremony is that drops of #blood from someone who’s not #Jewish, which the term is ‘#gentile,’ has to be mixed in that bread,” Maqusi said, according to an audio recording shared by the advocacy group StandWithUs.

“The story is that a certain investigation was undergoing to find out where Father Thomas is. He was found #murdered and a group of #Jews who lived in #Syria said that, admitted to #kidnapping him and #murdering him to get drops of blood for making the holy bread,” she said.

The #campus branch of #Students for Justice in #Palestine had advertised the Tuesday event as part of a lecture series called “Palestine: From existence to resistance.” Maqusi’s talk was called “The Birth of #Zionism.”

The advertisement for the event said Maqusi was a researcher at the #university and a former employee of #UNRWA, the #UN agency for the #Palestinians." 👀

In 1938 on #ThisDayInHistory, #Nazi Germany issued the Decree on the Elimination of Jews from Economic Life. This barred #Jews from selling goods or services or having a trade, forcing the remaining population into exile, with many forced into #Palestine due to #migration quotas.

"An #animalrights group that claims to fight cruelty to pigs is spreading vile #antisemitic #conspiracy theories – blaming “#Zionists” for the #Holocaust, #911 and the war in #Ukraine – while boasting celebrity backers, #Jewish News can reveal.

#FarmsNotFactories, which campaigns for consumers to only buy local, high welfare and ethically produced pork, lists celebrities including Hugh Grant, former Channel 4 TV presenter Jon Snow and Game of Thrones actor Jerome Flynn on its “high profile supporters” page.

However, the organisation also publishes what it describes as “newsletters”, tens of thousands of words long, which quote copiously from a variety of deeply unpleasant sources pontificating about #Jews, #Israel and the #Shoah, as well as promoting anti-#vaccination and anti-Ukraine themes."

In 1215 on #ThisDayInHistory, the #Catholic Church convened the #FourthCouncilOfTheLateran. In addition to establishing the dogma of #transubstantiation, it called for #Jews to wear distinctive clothing so Christians could avoid (and target) them. It also forbade hunting #birds.
