This is simply wonderful news for the Migration Museum and its ongoing project to create the UK's first permanent museum exploring migration to and from the UK. The new Museum will be in the City of London, but is already working with collaborators outside London and outside England. 1/3

On this day in 1944, the Gestapo found Anne Frank and her family in their Secret Annex. Her diary stands as a warning against hatred and persecution. Eighty years later, we should recognize the warning signs before it’s too late.🙂‍↕️

So it's farewell to the History subject area at the University of Hertfordshire, not the first nor the last to go. One of the best departments in the country, just extinguished like a snap of the fingers. Think of the waste. (1/2)

Visited a cemetery this morning that I'd never been to before (right under my nose too!), and after about 20mins, I found a man who was a LCPL in the Canadian Infantry and died in 1918. A quick order of his death certificate reveals he is entitled to a #CWGC headstone, so i've presented my evidence.
