As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe.
But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

Diego Velázquez painted Las Meninas almost 370 years ago, and it's been under scrutiny ever since.

I see Macron is trying to educate Trump. A pointless exercise given the latter’s mental sociopathy. France is the only major Western country, with an independent nuclear deterrent, that lies between Putin & his territorial demands on Europe.
This graphic doesn’t include the billions in support Euro govts have given to house Ukrainians refugees in their countries. That is €20+ billion per annum. There is also significant other domestic aid. Euro is the biggest supporter by a significant factor. We can’t allow the Trump regime to lie.

Thread: Walter Osborne (1859-1903) is one of Ireland’s most beloved artists. A painter, especially renowned for his images of children, his works are amongst the most popular in Irish art museums. Take a look at this heartwarming artist who captured Dublin

Twelve Graves of Christmas - Day 9 🪦🎄: Tudor effigies from Old St Paul's. In the crypt of Wren's cathedral are a family of effigies which survived the burning of St Paul's during the Great Fire of London. Thomas Heneage (d.1594) lies alongside his wife Anna (d.1592). #skystorians
