Just in case you didn't know today is Holocaust Memorial Day
This is just something I can't get my head around..... no matter how many books I read or films I watch.
Who would ever think this was a good idea???
You can find some shocking facts here
Light a candle today & spare a thought for those poor families that were torn apart :(
Back soon with a brighter post!
it is incomprehensible isn't it ?
ReplyDeleteAnd so important to remember, I think otherwise, we can never learn, and fail to be grateful for all those who sacrificed so much for the freedoms that we take as our right these days.
I'll never 'get it' either I have, like you, read and watched and even visited a camp in germany. I don't understand how anyone can have been so cruel and I don't believe that no one knew about it!
ReplyDeleteDon't get me started!!!
It is important to remeber and hope that the same mistakes anre never made again!
It is unfathomable, isn't it? My dad was with some of the US troops who liberated the concentration camps, and he wouldn't even speak of it.

Just read this post ... my daughter recently went to Krakow, Poland and visited Auschwitz. The photographs she brought back were harrowing ... you think you know all about it, but when you see it like that, we know nothing, can only imagine what those poor people went through. xxx
