We are deeply saddened at the passing of our Honorary President and friend, Sir Ben Helfgott.
Here is a tribute from our Chair, @Laura_E_Marks.
ALT ‘Ben taught me, guided me, scolded me and laughed with me. He personified the spirit of survival – making Britain his new home and family yet never forgetting the lessons from the past. We are diminished by the loss yet strengthened by his memory.’ Laura Marks OBE Chair of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust

Solly Perel survived the Holocaust by posing as a student at a Hitler Youth school. There, he witnessed his classmates’ indoctrination into Nazi racial theory. If he had been discovered, the Nazis would have murdered him for being Jewish. Solly recently died at age 97.

Well done @BBCNews. Wonderful tribute to Zigi Shipper and moving interview with Manfred Goldberg, lifelong friends, concentration camp survivors and real heroes doing so much to teach the rest of us about racism and build a stronger more united country for the rest of us.
