The existing OxTalks site will remain available to view during this period.
From 16th, Oxford Events will launch on a new website: events.ox.ac.uk, and event submissions will resume. You will need a Halo login to submit events. Full details are available on the Staff Gateway.
When Holocaust survivor Lily Ebert showed her great grandson Dov Frorman a bank note she was given after liberation from a death march, he started an online search via social media and successfully tracked down the soldier who gave it to her. Their reunion 75 years later captured imaginations across the country and was widely covered in television, newspapers and radio. Here, Holocaust Memorial Day Trust Scotland Support Worker and Holocaust Educational Trust Regional Ambassador Kirsty Robson talks to Dov and Lily about their story and how Social Media can be used for Holocaust commemoration and education.
