My mother has now had the COVID vaccine, and has an appointment for the second dose in three weeks.

She sent me articles from two UK Jewish publications, about her being almost certainly the first Holocaust survivor to receive the vaccine, both of which mention her work with the Holocaust Education Trust (which got the photo credit and presumably contacted the press):

ETA: I have sent some of these comments to my mother, and our family and her friends.

Oh wow, I didn't know your mother was a Holocaust survivor! I mean, yes, many European Jewish people of a certain age were, but I'm pretty sure I didn't know she was one of them.

I took the article from the Jewish News and posted it a few places, saying "This is my friend's mother!".

I don't know if it'll make any difference to anyone, because all of the Jewish people I know are firmly on the side of SCIENCE, but a lot of people have been interested to read it.
