Rachel Riley Instagram – Today on Holocaust Memorial Day I want to pay tribute to two wonderful men I have the privilege of meeting while they were alive, who we’ve sadly lost in this last year. Zigi Shipper BEM and Sir Ben Helfgott were born in Poland and as children, lost most of their extended families as part of the systematic murder of 6 million Jewish men, women and children in the Holocaust. Sir Ben spent his youth as a slave labourer, in ghettos and concentration camps and saw unimaginable horrors. The story of his arrival in England after liberation has been immortalised as part of the story told in the BBC movie, ‘The Windermere Children’. Sir Ben overcame so much adversity to become the captain of British weightlifting team and won a bronze medal in the 1960s Olympics. He did decades of charity work, supporting fellow survivors and educating the public on the dangers of extremism and hate going unchecked. Zigi’s childhood was spent in the Lodz ghetto, at several concentration camps including Auschwitz-Birkenau, and he survived a Nazi death march before being liberated. He came to England to join his mother, after his grandparents and father who he’d previously lived with had died or where never heard of again. Zigi too dedicated many decades educating young people about what happened in this awful period of history, and even though he suffered so much in his life, he still had such an infectious personality and was an absolute joy to be around. He too has been immortalised as King Charles (then The Prince of Wales) commissioned the portraits of seven Holocaust survivors, of whom Zigi was one, and so Zigi’s face hangs on the walls of Buckingham Palace today. Sir Ben and Zigi were great lifelong friends, great advocates for @holocaustuk and are missed by so many in the wider community. You can read more about them here. https://www.hmd.org.uk/resource/sir-ben-helfgott/ https://www.hmd.org.uk/resource/zigi-shipper-hmd-2017/ May their memories be a blessing. #Holocaust #HolocaustMemorialDay #HMD #HMD2024
