Pretty soon we can write the Jews out of the story altogether! fozzie_wocka_wocka

"On the occasion of International #Holocaust Remembrance Day, the Center for the Study of #European #Jewry at Tel Aviv University on Tuesday published a new report examining how the Holocaust has been commemorated worldwide in recent decades. The findings point to a clear global trend: an increasing number of countries are placing the story of the Righteous Among the Nations at the center of Holocaust remembrance.

The 104-page report, titled For a Noble Cause, has received wide international attention. Its central article argues that over the past two decades, a trend that intensified in the past year, Holocaust commemoration has increasingly focused on museums and exhibitions dedicated to non- #Jews who risked their lives, and often those of their families, to save Jews from extermination."

"The #tour follows a chronological tale of #Jewish life in #York. We start at Whip-Ma-Whop-Ma-Gate to set the scene of Jewish life in #Medieval York.

Here, we introduce some key figures at the centre of anti-Jewish violence that started in #London, in late #1189, before making its way north. Putting ourselves in the shoes of the Jewish community, we replicate their journey to #CliffordsTower, the site of the #1190massacre. This is the most significant Jewish site in York, which saw the complete annihilation of York’s 150 #Jews, the majority of whom chose #suicide in order to protect their faith and dignity from the mob.

From here, we explore the lesser known revitalisation of the Jewish community in the #13thcentury. This story is shared at the medieval #synagogue on Coney Street. Next, at the Norman House, we cover the build-up to the national #expulsion (#1290) and official return of #Jewry in the #17thcentury."
