Equally, having worked so hard to help younger Jewish community members [email protected] secure employment and a source of income in recent years, we’ve seen many 3 COVID-19: OUR GLOBAL RESPONSE As the pandemic spread around the world, we started work with our brilliant local partners to get aid and awareness to where it’s most needed - from conflict zones to crowded refugee camps. Each of our partners has specific areas of expertise which we have utilised to be as effective as possible in mitigating against the spread of Covid-19. Our programmes supporting older Jewish people in eastern Europe and helping the younger generation back into work all continue, but have been adapted to provide extra care to those who need it, in line with the government advice of each country. We are responding to the pandemic in 15 countries around the world, including Haiti, Moldova, Belarus and here in the UK. Below is a snapshot of our work in three very challenging environments. A region torn apart by conflict, Eastern Ukraine is ill- equipped to respond to a virus outbreak. Having provided humanitarian support in this area since the fighting began, we acted quickly, providing a key hospital with essential care items including 400 medical grade masks for doctors and 3,000 disposable masks for patients. We are also distributing disinfectant and hand sanitiser. We have sent food packages to 200 older people, single parent families and families with many children, with sufficient supplies to last for two months. We have been working in rural Mozambique since it was struck by two devastating cyclones last year, destroying land, lives and livelihoods. We are providing portable handwashing stations, PPE and important safety information; our team is demonstrating effective hand washing, teaching social distancing, providing masks and distributing buckets and taps to the most vulnerable households. These measures are helping to ensure the communities that we have been working with to rebuild livelihoods since the cyclones, have some protection against the spread of the virus. Sadly Covid-19 is spreading in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh - home to more than a million Rohingya refugees. With a dense population and serious overcrowding, the virus is a huge threat to life. We have been working with partners on the ground to mitigate the impact of Covid-19 and slow the spread of the virus by running an awareness campaign, providing PPE and hygiene items and giving food packs to families who are unable to work due to lockdown. We are also supporting the local Bangladeshi community who are equally at risk.

FOR MORE THAN EIGHT YEARS WE HAVE BEEN TRANSFORMING THE LIVES OF JEWISH PEOPLE IN FORMER SOVIET COUNTRIES BY HELPING THEM INTO EMPLOYMENT. WITH A PROVEN TRACK RECORD OF SUCCESS, WE ARE NOW USING THE KNOWLEDGE WE’VE BUILT TO BENEFIT VULNERABLE YOUNG PEOPLE IN RWANDA. Together with our partners in Rwanda, UNM and Ekaterina Mitiaev, Head of Impact and Livelihoods SACCA, we are helping young people from poor at World Jewish Relief says: backgrounds and fractured families in a country “This programme will awaken more that has suffered tremendous trauma as a result of the genocide 26 years ago.

Relief’s DFID funded programme. Olive left school 5 She says the internship has given her a new sense of aspiration and ambition. The realisation she can achieve things gives her a great sense of pride and she is so much happier now that she can help her family. With this programme, World Jewish Relief will be able to transform the lives of so many other young people like Olive, and give them a future to look forward to in the months and years to come. In addition to vocational courses, we are working with groups of farmers to provide intensive training in modern agricultural techniques including how to grow high yield, high quality crops such as tomatoes. They are shown how to analyse the results of their first season’s harvest - part of the training to help them develop an entrepreneurial mindset. In previous years this has enabled farmers on our programmes to increase their income by at least a factor of 7. Despite the challenges presented by Coivd-19, the harvests continue to succeed, allowing some small amount of security for the farmers. With the new grant from DFID, we know that we will be able to reach more and more people with Olive this kind of sustainable income. Thanks to this at 17 but had been struggling to find work.

It exists to promote and defend the religious and civil liberties of British Jewry and to promote its standing. Nearly 300 Deputies represent local communities and organisations in a democratically elected body ZKLFKLVWKHƪUVWSRUWRIFDOOIRUJRYHUQPHQWDQGRWKHUIDLWKJURXSVRQLVVXHV relating to the Jewish community. On issues of importance, such as Holocaust remembrance and education, the Board reaches out through its Deputies and its close relationship with the other organisations to the whole community to consult and to listen, ensuring that we speak with a strong and consistent voice. Most of the community’s major communal organisations have contributed to this document and are listed in Appendix 1, along with details of our consultation process. Many are also submitting their own documents. We particularly urge the Commission to consider, alongside this document, submissions from the main synagogal bodies, the Regional Representative Councils, the Scottish Council of Jewish Communities, and of course, the Charedi community, each of which bring a particular perspective.

Norton The Kindertransport, a British scheme to bring unaccompanied mostly Jewish refugee children threatened by Nazism to Great Britain, occupies a unique place in modern British history. In the months leading up to the Second World War, it brought over 10,000 children under the age of seventeen into the United Kingdom without their parents, to be fostered by British families and re-emigrated when they turned eighteen. Mostly forgotten in the post-war period, the Kindertransport was rediscovered in the late 1980s when a fiftieth anniversary reunion was organized. Celebrated as an unprecedented act of benevolent rescue by a generous British Parliament and people, the Kindertransport has been subjected to little academic scrutiny. The salvation construct assumes that the Kinder, who were mostly silent for fifty years, experienced little hardship and that their survival more than compensated for any trauma they suffered.

  • Chronology of Events 1918 – 1938
    Chronology of Events 1918-1938 1918: Czechoslovakia is established after the fall of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire following the First World War. The country is made up of two groups of Slavic peoples, the Czechs and the Slovaks. 1920: The Treaty of Versailles, in which Germany is held responsible for World War I and its consequences, is signed. The treaty deals harshly with a defeated Germany and includes territorial, military, financial and general provisions, including the demilitarization and 15-year occupation of the Rhineland (area between France and Germany), limitations on German armed forces and reparations of 6,600 million pounds. 1921: Adolf Hitler becomes leader of National Socialist German Workers (Nazi) Party. 1923: Beer Hall Putsch (Hitler’s attempt to overthrow regional government in Munich) is unsuccessful and Hitler is jailed. 1925: Mein Kampf (My Struggle), Hitler’s book, is published. 1933: Japan attacks China. The Nazi party gains majority in the German Reichstag and Hitler is named Chancellor. The Reichstag building burns in a “mysterious” fire and all other political parties are abolished. Hitler denounces the Treaty of Versailles. There are public book burnings in Germany. Anti-Jewish laws are passed in Germany: no kosher butchering, no Jewish Civil servants, no Jewish lawyers, quotas for Jews in universities. Any Germans holding non-Nazi political meetings are subject to arrest and imprisonment in concentration camps (the first is Oranienburg, outside of Berlin). Dachau is built as concentration-work camp (specific death camps not yet built, but elderly, those who were very young, disabled or sick have difficulty surviving harsh conditions of camps).

In response, one of my fellow Commissioners, Chief Rabbi Ephraim Mirvis, noted that the work of this Commission was a sacred duty to the memory of both victims and survivors of the Holocaust. One year on, having concluded its work in presenting this report, I believe that the Commission has fulfilled that duty and has provided a set of recommendations which will give effect to an appropriate and compelling memorial to the victims of the Holocaust and to all of those who were persecuted by the Nazis.
