Soon there will be no-one

To remember anyone;

Then it will be up to us all

To remember everyone.

MC and Graham - We should recognise that liberal democratic freedoms and “civilisation” more generally are not permanent and unchallengeable edifices. They are fragile constructs which require constant work and defence.
And thanks for the Likes, Aviva, Holden and Julie.

Short and blunt - as it should be. One can hardly imagine the horror
and the terror that existed when the madness of Hitler's war (not forgetting "Uncle Joe" Stalin's savagery further east) took over much
of Europe. It is not too surprising that there was initial disbelief -
soon rendered void by the harrowing newsreel footage and the
witness testimony of those officials, together with the armed services,
who entered the death camps and saw for themselves the dreadful results of what had occurred.
Lest we forget indeed!

In these times, when every day of the year seems to celebrate/remember something or other, the really important issues can sometimes be reduced somewhat. Luckily the remembrance of the holocaust has kept its global significance. I have no connection to the Jewish faith whatsoever but each year I am minded to sit and ponder the dichotomy of a survivor/survivor's family, remembering whilst also trying their best to forget this awful segment of our world's history.
