Had a lovely evening at the Ramsden dinner St Catharine's College last night with my guest Lord (Eric) Pickles, who was excellent company. We caught up on the progress of the Alderney Review, IHRA plans and our forthcoming trip to Jersey. Great plans ahead!
Solemn commemoration at #Jasenovac today, in memory of the many thousands murdered at this WW2 concentration camp: Jews, Serbs, Roma, anti-fascist Croatians & others. A powerful reminder of where prejudice and intolerance can lead. There’s a role for *all* of us in #NeverAgain .
Happy 16th Anniversary to JCC Krakow for advocating tolerance and understanding at the heart of the community 🇵🇱
