While I was of course delighted that the Washington Post did a full page and very kind review of my latest book “The Einstein Vendetta” last weekend, the shuttering of its book section is grim, grim, grim.

Nice review about “Hitler e Mussolini Contro Einstein” in @FoodMoodMag foodmoodmag.it/read/hitler-e…

This week's events were incredibly moving. First event was held at the town hall of Rignano sull’Arno. This was close to the villa where the Einstein family was murdered in 1944. each year the community commemorates what happened and holds the story close. Second event at Firenze synagogue with survivors of the Holocaust, hearing directly from eye witnesses. Third event in Prato speaking to high school students about the history of WW2 in Italy. A huge honour to meet with people who have lived this story and to discuss my book about the Einstein murders.

Thanks to @Waterstones you can pre-order THE EINSTEIN VENDETTA in paperback at a discount! @MichaelJBooks

This morning, the city's municipal administration of Pisa laid a wreath of laurel in memory of the martyrs of Palazzo Pardo Roques in Via S. Andrea. A marble plaque commemorates the massacre of 12 innocent people—5 Christians and 7 Jews—who were murdered by a group of German soldiers on August 1, 1944.

I come from a family of immigrants who were welcomed in by Great Britain. 90 years ago in 1935 my family (on my father’s side) arrived in London fleeing Jewish persecution in Nazi Germany. 50 years later, in 1985, they threw a ’Thank You Britain Party’ . In the picture, that’s my great uncle Hanns clapping his hands and his twin brother Paul in the red tails and top hat. 180 years ago in 1843, my family (on my mother’s side) arrived in London after fleeing pogroms in Prussia and Anti-Jewish hatred in Belgium. They went on to set up the biggest catering company in the world J. Lyons (Corner Houses, Lyons Tearooms etc) employing more than 30,000 people, during WW2 their factories supported the Allies war effort, and later still they invented the world’s first business computer (LEO) and built the country’s first hamburger chain (Wimpy). Twice this amazing country has offered a safe haven for my family. Twice my family has been extremely grateful. Thank you Britain. Let’s make sure others can thank Britain in the future. #refugees #immigrants #thankyou #gratitude #grateful

18 August 1823, the enslaved abolitionists in the British Colony of Demerara (today Guyana) rose up and demanded their freedom, demanded freedom for all of us. We must never forget this extraordinary bravery.
