CCJ has been a leading player in interfaith engagement since its founding in 1942. We call on people of faith to challenge prejudice and persecution together. We bring Jews and Christians together to engage in education, dialogue and social action.

Great interview by @danielsugarman.bsky.social with Bishop Lusa Nsenga-Ngoy, Bishop of Willesden, on the threat of antisemitism. We were very pleased and proud to have him on our trip to Poland last month. www.jewishnews.co.uk/antisemitism...

A poem discovered in the Roma Camp in Auschwitz II-Birkenau on Roma Holocaust Memorial Day. (From the Resource Booklet for our recent study trip to Poland.)
Do not wake me from my dream
so the world need never know
how they treat a Roma
My dearest girl, do not look,
so you need not see
how they treat a Roma
God lets no joy come into our homes
My girl, think of the honour
that once was ours.
But no more fire,
no joy, no laughter.
Soon, nothing but night,
and no day, only in dreams.

Anonymous (trans.Jean Boase-Beier)
‘Song of the Roma’ (written in the
Zigeneuerlager in Auschwitz II-Birkenau

A striking and powerful comment by Ronald S. Lauder @auschwitzmemorial.bsky.social seen on our visit today.
“World silence led to Auschwitz.
World indifference led to Auschwitz.
World anti-Semitism led to Auschwitz.
Do not let this happen again.
