80 years ago, on 1 August 1944, the Warsaw Rising started. In Poland, we know the price of freedom. How much does it take to stand up for the values you believe in? Look at the heroes of WARSAW🇵🇱 Sound on 🔉 #ThereWasACity🔹warsawrising.eu

So, as we reflect on 2023 and look forward to 2024, perhaps it's time to consider important decisions. Black Jack or Fruit Salad 🤔😉😊

@drtorhumphreys @sommecourt All good thanks. Going down lots of different rabbit holes at the moment! We must arrange a trip to Kew. Would love to come and chat on Talking History with Humphreys & Reed!

@drtorhumphreys @sommecourt At school, the careers advisor asked me 'So what career would you like to do?' I said 'I don't know, that's why I've come to see you', the response: 'Well if you don't know, then I can't help you!' 🙄

Their Finest Hour
Their Finest Hour@ww2finesthour·
A mutiny began in the US Army #OTD 1943 in Bamber Bridge, Lancs after Military Police tried to arrest Black soldiers. When commanders demanded a colour bar in the town, pubs posted ‘Black Troops Only’ signs. Did your relatives discuss this? Let us know! theirfinesthour.org

Auschwitz Exhibition

"Remember, it didn’t start with gas chambers. It started with politicians dividing the people with ‘us vs. them.’ It started with intolerance and hate speech, and when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye, it became a slippery slope to genocide".
