Irish Holocaust survivor Tomi Reichental has died at the age of 90. As a young boy, Mr Reichental was imprisoned in Bergen Belsen concentration camp and 35 of his relatives were murdered by the Nazis. As a pensioner in Ireland, he educated thousands of children about the terrible things he witnessed and the evils of antisemitism. “After all the horror, I am doing my best to keep the memory of those lost ones alive," he said. "We – you, me, your children, and my children – must never forget.” You can learn more about Mr Reichental's incredible story of survival in Newstalk's award nominated documentary In The Swastika's Shadow: Ireland and the Holocaust: newstalk.com/podcasts/newsta… Ar dheis Dé go raibh a anam dílis. May his memory be a blessing.

There are a number of unsolved murders of women that Gardaí and PSNI never appeal for information from the public. Probably because they were middle aged or older women and nobody really cared. I'll go through details of a few of them, given the police evidently won't do it. /1

If your child becomes a reader, about 80% of the education job is already done. That's my honest assessment after working in education for over thirty years. Everything else is secondary. Most parents think science education is important. Yes it is. But if you can't read the biology textbook, you're not going to learn biology. Reading is the meta-skill that enables all other skills. History requires reading. Science requires reading. Even math increasingly requires reading as it becomes more sophisticated. The child who reads voraciously will figure out everything else. The child who doesn't will struggle with everything.

Disciplinary literacy - The way that a historian reads, writes and thinks is different to how scientist operates. Each subject context has different needs and requirements. It's useful to point this out and have students (and sometimes teachers!) reflect on this.
