A rather gloomy January day in London, looking at some archival holdings of the Wiener Holocaust Library. I’ve just realised that tomorrow – January 27th – is International Holocaust Remembrance Day.

Not so beautiful central London.

🇹🇭 Hidden away in suburban Wimbledon, in the grounds of a rambling 1920s villa, is the first Thai Buddhist temple to built in the UK. Work commenced on this Thai government funded temple in 1979 and it was opened in 1982. Inside, murals were painted between 1984 and 1992. These images mix traditional episodes in Buddhist life and myths with scenes from more modern life. What was chosen for depiction sometimes seems random or weird such as Margaret Thatcher, Vincent Van Gogh, Mother Teresa of Kolkata and Colonel Gaddafi, the Eiffel Tower and a Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet. Sadly visitors are asked not to take photos.

🇺🇦 By chance on Wednesday I came across London’s Ukrainian Catholic Cathedral of the Holy Family. Although there was a small, but steady flow of people going to Ukrainian Welcome Centre that’s housed in the same building, there were no worshipers in the church.
