Jewish studies. PhD student Rob Kanter used aspects of his PhD research on Jewish-Muslim relations in Britain to write and present some of the programme at Manchester's Yom Hashoah commemoration which was attended by 900 people in Central Manchester on Wednesday 23 April. The theme of this year's event was 'Untold Stories'. Rob explored the under told experiences of Jewish communities in Iraq and Tunisia during the period of the Holocaust to broaden the audience's understanding on the 'long reach' of the Holocaust into the Middle East and North Africa.
