Never forget!




On National Holocaust Day, let's remember the horrors of Auswitz and that 1m people died in the death camps. Let's also never forget that the nazis' masterplan was to wipe out the Jews, homosexuals, gypsies, the mentally ill and any opposition from the Polish catholic church. It took children for the Lebensborn programme because they looked Ayran. And if they didn't make the grade, they were fatally injected with phenol. They also tried to do all this without leaving any trace. Thank god then for Jewish historian, Emanuel Ringelblum, who organised thousands of people to record their experiences at the hands of the nazis and in the Warsaw ghetto. Many of them perished in the gas chambers but their records and writings live on, making the Holocaust real. Ringelblum was a beacon of humanity . Never forget that era of evil!
