Holocaust denial & distortion harms us all. It spreads on social media through covert codes, memes & offensive humour. It is antisemitic, fuels homophobia, misogyny, racism & xenophobia. Discover UNESCO's latest publication: https://on.unesco.org/3AIQbzn #ProtectTheFacts

While there were over 40,000 concentration camps and ghettos in Europe during the Holocaust, almost half of Americans (45%) cannot name a single one. The percentage is even higher amongst Millennials. More than ever we need to use the power of education to make sure the past is never forgotten. https://on.unesco.org/2B5Um8Q #HolocaustRemembrance #HolocaustEducation







Kabuki means to act eccentrically or erratically. Some—though by no means all—consider the form to be light relief compared with Japan’s more austere noh tradition. It was once far less respectable than now, beginning as all-female casts before moving to the capital’s brothel district.

TAIPEI — A one-time military brothel on a former flashpoint island is set to welcome guests of a different kind after Taiwanese tourist bosses re-opened it ...

Leopold Bloom is the fictional star of the James Joyce novel Ulysses, first published in 1922. The book follows a single day in the life of Bloom, an advertising salesman, as he travels about the city of Dublin, Ireland. (The day is 16 June 1904, and June 16th is now whimsically celebrated as "Bloomsday" in many cities around the world.) Bloom's wanderings are parallelled with those of the Greek hero Ulysses in the ancient classic The Odyssey, written by Homer. Other characters in Ulysses include Stephen Dedalus (the hero of Joyce's earlier book A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man) and Bloom's wife Molly, who has become something of a literary celebrity in her own right.

Shoah is a 1985 French documentary film directed by Claude Lanzmann about the Holocaust (also known as the Shoah). The film primarily consists of interviews and visits to key Holocaust sites.
