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.

I'm tearing up, because it's SO IMPORTANT that we keep our elders around, especiallyly our elders who've lived through things like that.
