Tags of Holocaust Children at Sobibor and recalling Prince William and Kate meeting Holocaust Survivors on Holocaust Memorial Day

Books are still being published about recent discoveries of Holocaust vctims who were lost, items found buried, and descendants feeling compelled to try tracing those lost from their family tree. At Sobibor, the camp where a revolt took place, tags of children were discovered and a book has just been published about it.

UK

In the UK Holocaust memorial day's events included Prince William and Kate meeting survivors who they had met previously. 

I had not heard of these survivors before. 

Anne Frank's Family

I had heard of Anne Frank's father living in Edgware, north west London, postwar, WW2. Edgware was where I lived as a child and teenager.

If you are intersted in Jews and Jewish history in the UK, look at the websites for the Jewish Museums in London and Manchester. Also Jewish people such as Anne Frank's posthumous sister (daughter of Mr Frank's second wife,) who lived with her mother and step-father, in London.

Jews Of Postwar Eras

You might also be interested in the websites for concentration camps, cemeteries, and Jewish entertainers around the world such as Amy Winehouse.

Sites To Visit When We Can Travel - and now on the internet

I have visited Anne Frank's house in Amsterdam, Jewish museums in the UK, the Netherlands, Prague, Poland and the USA.
