Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. This year is very significant as it marks 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz. Gwent Archives has a collection of Jewish records, including accounts of the anti-Jewish riots in 1911 and records of Newport Synagogue. Ref: D2235/1/13 and 20

Breaking: Last night thieves entered the Drents Museum in Assen, The Netherlands, with the use of explosives. They got away with precious objects from the ehibition 'Dacia - Realm of Gold and Silver'. The display features treasures from the ancient kingdom of Dacia. What a horror
