It is Holocaust Memorial today -(Friday). The time for us to remember the millions of people who died (were murdered), in Nazi slavery/death camps.
We are being asked to light a candle this afternoon at 4 pm both as a memorial for those as well as so many others that have suffered all forms of racism.
Sadly, far too many people who will shake their heads and declare the awfulness of what happened between 1939-1945 do not realise that similar happenings continued and still continue to this day.
De-humanising of other people who may have a different skin colour, eat different foods, speak different language, have different religion, people looking for somewhere safe for themselves and their families- is still continuing everywhere in our world, sadly in the Uk also.
So, if you do light a candle - do spend the time considering what YOU are doing to make evry effort to help to prevent this sort of Holocaust continuing.
