The famous #Gellert thermal baths in #Budapest is closing for renovations at the end of this month and will open again in 2028. So I spent 3 hours swimming, steaming, dozing, sauna-ing and even conking out in a room with camp beds provided. That will be my last chance for relaxation till Christmas!

A real privilege to be at a live performance of the #Roma Auschwitz song in the middle of a concert by a Hungarian Roma band at the #Budapest #Holocaust centre last night. I’ve seen recordings before but never heard it live. Google it to hear this haunting song.

The final #Stolpersteine in #Jersey is for Canon Clifford Cohu, rector of St Saviour and leader of a group who listened to and spread the #BBC news. He was murdered in #Zöchen camp by a guard, picked on for being British. 🙏 to @jerseyheritage.bsky.social for their support. 📷 Chris Addy & Ruth Mandel

Final day of #Stolpersteine laying in #Jersey and last few stones. This one is laid for George Fox who stole food from the Germans to feed his family and paid for it with his life. He died in #Naumburg Prison. His niece and great nephew helped lay the stone.

The #Jersey house of #surrealist artists Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore and the sea wall at the end of their garden built by slave labour during the German Occupation.

Visited the graves of Lucy Schwob / Claude Cahun and Suzanne Malherbe / Marcel Moore in #Jersey today. And to the right, in dark pink granite: the grave of Aliens Officer Clifford Orange, who was assiduous in registering Jews in the island during the #Occupation.

I went to see the #Stolpersteine stones laid last year for Claude Cahun and Marcel Moore, #Surrealist artists who lived in #Jersey from the 1930s and whose work is currently on show at the #Belvedere in #Vienna!

The final #Stolperstein today is for a real heroine in #Jersey. Louisa Gould was murdered in #Ravensbrück for the offence of sheltering a Russian slave labourer from a nearby camp. Her brother, Harold Le Druillenec, helped her and survived #Bergen-Belsen. He received a stone last year.

Next here in #Jersey we have laid a #Stolpersteine to Edward Muels, whose family gave shelter to a German soldier who was a Jehovah’s Witness. The soldier had accidentally shot another soldier. Muels was deported to and died in a Nazi prison in Germany of ‘heart weakness’.

The next #Stolpersteine in #Jersey are for Jean and Marcel Rossi, deported for refusing to work for the Germans and having Italian ancestry. They experienced #Gross-Rosen, #Blechhammer and #Hersbruck concentration camps. Marcel died on a forced march.

I’ve done some late-night research and discovered that the last 2 #stolpersteine installed at the same address for Samuel Simon and William Marsh in #jersey were grandfather and grandson. As his grandfather was Jewish, it explains why the Germans threw the book at William. 📷 Chris Addy

The last 2 #Stolpersteine in #Jersey today lived in the same house, related by marriage (?). William Marsh, who listened to the BBC news and Samuel Simon, who died of anxiety as a persecuted Jew.

We pause to polish the #Jersey #Stolpersteine of Harold Le Druillenec, the only Brit alive (just about) at the liberation of #BergenBelsen. He testified at 3 war crimes trials and spoke extensively about his experiences.

Pat Fisher, daughter of Joe Tierney, holds his #Stolpersteine in #Jersey. 9 years ago the BBC made a documentary telling his story. Joe helped spread the BBC news and went to a range of camps, dying in a cattle truck in the closing days of the war near #Theresienstadt.

The third # Stolpersteine in #Jersey is for Jack Soyer, who had a very unusual trajectory. He was sent for forced labour in Paris (digging unexploded bombs), escaped, joined the resistance, and was shot by the Germans the day before liberation.
