Holocaust Memorial Day: Monday 27th January 2025
It was an honour to be hosted by the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office and the Israeli Embassy for this year's International Holocaust Memorial Day. We heard the unwavering words of Holocaust survivor Janine Webber BEM, and also from The Right Honourable David Lammy, Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs. We are reminded that never again means NEVER AGAIN!
President of the CJC, Lord Jon Mendelsohn calls for a coordinated global response to rising antisemitism, following his recent visit to the Adass Israel synagogue in Melbourne, Australia. See link below 👇
