A betwixtmas visit to Norfolk and stopped into Swaffham, where I took the time to visit the town war memorial, the wonderful memorial window in the church, and the grave of Sir Arthur Kynvet Wilson, VC. – at Fakenham, England

A wonderfully uplifting story about groundbreaking surgery at @RoyalPapworth, where surgeons transplanted a pair of lungs revived outside the body in a hi-tech box.
Medical science doing its magnificent, awe-inspiring, life-enhancing thing 💙🫁

I learned an astonishing statistic over the weekend - 10% of Gypsy, Roma, and Traveller people die by suicide. The NHS Race & Health Observatory has launched a series of short films that present the lived experience of people from these communities. Please share.

A Polish #SOE agent who wreaked havoc in #WW2 German occupied Greece, accounting for the sinking of two Nazi U-Boats amongst other targets. The film named ‘Agent No.1’ about his wartime exploits is worth a watch
Jerzy Iwanow-Szajnowicz, a Polish renowned swimmer, water polo player, and one of the most famous allied agents during WW2, was recruited by the British SIS to operate in Greece. This fearless spy, often called the "Polish James Bond", played a vital role in disrupting the German war machine.
Executed in 1943, he is now almost completely forgotten.
Szajnowicz was born #OTD in 1911.

Today marks the anniversary of Kristallnacht, or the "Night of Broken Glass," which took place on November 9, 1938. In remembrance, we joined a group in our neighborhood to clean Stolpersteine — small brass plaques embedded in the pavement that honor the memory of victims of the Holocaust. Each plaque is placed in front of the last known residence of an individual who was persecuted by the Nazis.
