On #HolocaustMemorialDay, I'm remembering not a victim, but a journalist. Noel Newsome was the head of the BBC European Service. Unlike just about everybody else involved at the time he attempted to ensure that news of the Final Solution was broadcast by the BBC while it was actually taking place.

In today’s ’A month in Ambridge’ column, Charlotte Higgins says her assumption was Rochelle was dead or a figure of Joy’s imagination. I’d thought she was maybe a forced adoption baby though that seems less likely based on what’s been said since she reappeared. Any other theories? #thearchers
