A day to remember

But, sadly, we don’t learn the lessons

This statue is in Lviv, Western Ukraine

It commemorates the Holocaust. Today marks 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz – a day when we remember those who perished simply because they were Jews. We also remember those who survived and who, against all the odds, managed to find a way to live – working, raising children and grandchildren and even great grandchildren.

Sadly we are watching, today, the resurgence of antisemitism and racial prejudice throughout the world.

I watch as the sun has broken through the thick grey clouds over Colmworth. Maybe we will all find a way to live together.
