70 years ago, a woman discovered the structure of DNA. But 2 Cambridge men stole her work and won the Nobel Prize. She was erased from history and died of cancer. Here’s how the biggest theft in science buried Rosalind Franklin’s name in history… 🧵u

"Remember, it didn’t start with gas chambers. It started with politicians dividing the people with ‘us vs. them.’ It started with intolerance and hate speech, and when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye, it became a slippery slope to genocide".

So very glad I went to #Auschwitz last year, the news coverage is bringing the emotions all back, the utterly overwhelming sadness. #HolocaustMemorialDay We must stop it happening again!

Auschwitz was at the end of a long process. We must remember that it did not start from gas chambers. This hatred was gradually developed by humans. From ideas, words, stereotypes & prejudice through legal exclusion, dehumanization & escalating violence... to systematic and industrial murder. Auschwitz took time.

These two angels have been held hostage in Gaza by Hamas for 444 days. Their only 'sin'? They were born Jewish. Where is the world? Where is the outrage?

9-year-old Andre was murdered at the Magdeburg Christmas market in the terror attack. His mother Desiree survived and wrote these words when publishing this picture of her son: "Let my little teddy bear fly around the world again.... André hadn't done anything to anyone. He was only with us on earth for 9 years. Why you? Why only you? I don't understand... You're in heaven now with grandma and grandpa. They missed you very much. As much as we miss you here now. You will always live on in our hearts. I promise you that"
