Tomorrow, @talkSPORT will be marking Holocaust Memorial Day with a series of features focusing on Jewish footballers and coaches who were victims of the Nazi regime. Inspired by brilliant author @DavidBolchover who expertly delivered the stories for us

Riveting interview. A scandal that Tenenbom’s brilliant book has not been widely covered in the British (and Irish) media.

What a story @DavidBolchover knew nothing about Bela Guttman prior to reading the book. Epic stuff, his life reads like something out of a film

That BT video reminded me of “The Guttmann curse” that still haunts Benfica. The Greatest Comeback is a great book about his life - he lived a fascinating life shrouded in controversy at times. Well worth a read 👌🏻 @DavidBolchover

Just watching the build up to the @ChampionsLeague and they’re showing Benfica lifting the cup. Astonishing to think Béla Guttmann won it twice after surviving the holocaust to manage Benfica and Eusébio to success. Brilliant book by @DavidBolchover on the great man

Uncovered, Polish Jews’ pre-Holocaust plea to Chamberlain: Let us into Palestine

In March 1939, weeks before the notorious White Paper, Polish Jewry sent London a desperate telegram, published here apparently for the first time. At terrible cost, it was ignored

.@Dannythefink is the only columnist writing seriously about the Labour leadership's true ideological influences. Today it's Lenin and foreign policy. You can't say you weren't warned. https://t.co/LJ7dOyxJPS

Today we remember the fate of 850,000 Jewish refugees forced out of Arab countries and Iran in the 20th century. Communities dating back 2,500 years were destroyed. At the UN, I asked Algeria, Egypt, Iraq & the others: “Where are your Jews?” FULL VIDEO: https://t.co/i2bl2DPS7B

Thread: The claim in this letter that charges of antisemitism levelled at Corbyn & Labour are "evidence-free" and "unsubstantiated" is despicable. It's hard to believe that even the signatories believe it

Letters: As British Jews, we are not prepared to be used as cannon fodder in what is really a political siege of the Labour party, say 14 signatories. Plus letters from Keren Abse, Ruth Brandon and...

This made me cry: Today at Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, 92-year-old Melpomeni Dina Gianopoulou met 40 descendants of the Jewish Mordechai siblings, whom she and her two sisters hid in their home near Thessaloniki, Greece during the Holocaust. "Now I can die quietly," she said.

What's the deal with with Jeremy Corbyn? For those who haven't followed the story, here's why so many people, and especially Jews, are concerned about the man who presided over the Labour antisemitism crisis. [A thread based on https://t.co/JMqguUYLpw]

Today in 1972: Palestinian terrorists took Israeli athletes hostage, castrated & dismembered them, horrifying the world at the Munich Olympics. @UKLabour leader @jeremycorbyn laid a wreath... for the terrorists.
