“This is our great contribution to the #European project: to act as a cautionary tale.” #JonathanFreedland @TheGuardian

I have listened to two episodes of The Rest is History with Jonathan Freedland telling the story of Rudolf Vrba and Alfréd Wetzler, who escaped from Auschwitz in April 1944. It is a very powerful and moving story.

Just finished this unputdownable - & unnerving - novel by #SamBourne aka the @TheGuardian’s #JonathanFreedland. Spoiler alert - you may not want to read it in your local library. Let the *reader* understand.

‘“Every time I pick up a history book I feel better about the present day.” As 2022 gives way to 2023 there are grounds for hope. In these final days of the year, as we draw breath, let that be the ground we stand on.’
Not-so-bad-news from ⁦‪#JonathanFreedland. What we badly need to hear.

Fantastic and thought-provoking contribution from #TheGuardian 's #JonathanFreedland to yesterday's conference organised by the Lewes Labour Party. A very good day with cross-party involvement. Thank you food-bank hero #MarkPerryman
