OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

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.
