My new blog giving information about my Holocaust Art educational work, shoahart.blogspot.co.uk

Today is the ninth anniversary of the Manchester Arena terror attack. #Manchester22 #ManchesterRemembers 🐝 ❤️

Students began thinking about & planning their self-portraits. We will explore more art by Holocaust survivors in our first paired school art session. Thanks to Westhoughton High for hosting us today. Excited for our next session at St.James's High & seeing Y9's art develop. 3/3

Activities allowed for great interaction between Y9 students, exploring similarities & differences. We explored powerful self-portraits of Holocaust artist Felix Nussbaum & discussed how he expressed his Jewish identity in his earlier art to being dehumanised by the Nazis. 2/3

Great launch of our @BoltonACIS latest Who Am I? Secondary #SchoolsLinking Holocaust inspired arts identity project @Linking_Network @TheAJR_. Wonderful to bring together Y9 students & art teachers from St. James's High & Westhoughton High, to explore identity through art. 1/3

Today marks the 81st anniversary of the Liberation of Bergen-Belsen by the British forces. I created these pieces on the 75th anniversary to remember all the victims, survivors, and liberators of Bergen-Belsen. What did Liberation really mean? How does one return to life?

It's always wonderful to collaborate with @BoltonACIS with #schoolslinking on creative projects. It's always a pleasure working with such dedicated art teachers and their brilliant students. The students' creative reflective artworks are amazing.

I am lighting this #YELLOWCANDLE in memory of Sale Kornheiser, Wieliczka, Poland. Who was murdered at Treblinka in 1942, aged 38. May their memory be a blessing. @YellowCandleUK #YomHaShoah #NeverAgain #LightTheDarkness #LetThereBeLight

The art display is on at the Asda Bolton Superstore, Moss Bank Way, Astley Bridge, Bolton BL1 8QG. The display is opposite the tills. Wonderful for pupils to know thousands of people will see their artwork. #artinthecommunity

I lit my candle to remember the six million innocent Jewish men, women, and children murdered during the Holocaust. To remember the darkness of the past & to create light together, standing united against antisemitism and all prejudice. #LightTheDarkness #HolocaustMemorialDay

✨A proud moment for our Y9 students✨ Selected artworks will be exhibited at Bolton Town Hall from today as part of the official Bolton Holocaust Memorial Service, marking Holocaust Memorial Day - 27th of Jan 2026. Following the service, the artwork will be relocated & displayed

Bury Secondary Schools Linking Programme launched last week. Funded by @TheAJR_ and @Linking_Network, the project has a focus on Holocaust Memorial. Led by Holocaust Arts educator, @CSlifkin and @FairFutures1 director Janet Holden, the event welcomed students from 4 Bury schools

Y9 learners had time to start thinking about & planning their self-portraits. We will explore more about identity and art by Holocaust survivors in our first paired school art sessions. We are looking forward to the paired school sessions and seeing how their artwork develops 3/3
