My dad was a ‘racial refugee’ who got here on 4/8/39. Almost all his family died in the Shoah. Proud to serve the UK and build his life here, he instilled in me the need to give back to the UK. Hence my professional and communal life. QC. OBE. That’s what refugees do #Refugees

Gary Lineker did not compare the current government with a Nazi government. He rightly pointed out that language is important. And ‘invaders’ and, (re 100 million) ‘they’re coming here’ are not the language that a responsible government should use. #endofstory

My late father, Eugen, arrived in the UK from Czechoslovakia on 4th August 1939 as a “racial refugee”. Almost all of his large family were murdered in the Shoah. We, his descendants, thank this country for giving him refuge. #RefugeeDay2018

Just been at a hostel in Krakow where 108 members of the Roma communities are safe, having fled from the war in Ukraine. The JCC in Krakow, built by @WJRelief , is supporting them. We recognise the imperative of helping those in need wherever we can

Today my incredible great grandma Lily Ebert, a Holocaust survivor, turns 98!! “I never expected to survive Auschwitz. Now, at 98, I celebrate surrounded by my family - the Nazis did not win!” To the thousands of people who sent birthday cards & messages to Lily, THANK YOU ❤️❤️
