Holocaust Memorial Day

It has been moving reading this thread. It’s so important that the information is passed on to young people. My parents didn’t talk about their experiences and we didn’t have TV at home so I was sheltered from images of war, but at Easter times we’d stay with GM and avidly watch her TV. The televised Easter service had images of men in concentration camps which was horrifying. Later, at secondary school, my class read “I am David” by Anne Holm, about a 12 year old boy ( similar age to us) who escaped from a concentration camp and eventually traveled back to Denmark to find his mother. At the same time there were programmes on TV about the concentration camps which my friends told me about - all very disturbing. My own children didn’t have the same input at school but as adults are aware of the history. Due to the media coverage of the Holocaust Memorial Day, they lit a candle in a window at 8pm.
