Holocaust Memorial Day

Against the moving scenes taking place at Auschwitz we have the obscene spectacle of the far right BNP passing itself of as a respectable touter for votes in the general election expected to take place this year. Allied to this the frighteningly high number of Britons who profess to never having heard of the place and the worry is did those millions die in vain - and how can we really make sure they didn't?

One further question - where was Blair or the Queen: was Jack Straw and Prince Edward really the best we could manage?

"A voice was heard in Ramah, wailing and loud lamentation, Rachel weeping for her children, because they were no more". St Matthew's Gospel Chapter 2 verse 18.
