We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of our dear friend Iby Knill BEM, who passed away yesterday, exactly 77 years since she was liberated from Auschwitz.
Our thoughts are with Iby's friends and family at this difficult time.

Very sad that our dear friend and 6 million patron, Holocaust Survivor, writer and educator Iby Knill died yesterday. 77 years after she was liberated on Easter Sunday in 1945. A great woman whom we will miss very much, as will so many others ❤️. #6millonplus #holocaustsurvivor

Today is #HolocaustMemorialDay - the international day to remember all those murdered during the Holocaust, under Nazi persecution of other groups, and in genocides that followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
Let's learn from the past for a better future. #HMD2022

For Sara in Leeds, being a part of @6millionplus 's project Small Contentments "showed that even though we couldn't be physically together, deep and meaningful connection could still be made during lockdown."

It really was good. @em_danby you were so lucky with the weather. So many people watching on a rainy windy Saturday afternoon in Batley as @HafeezahSoni said the show still went on. Thank you.
