We will display a candle tonight in memory of the Holocaust, one of the most terrible events in human history, which must never be forgotten.

Being in Council run Sheltered Accomodation I was not sure if I would be allowed to burn candles for today's rememberance - not only did I get permission but I was loaned a Menorah by the manager of the site.

P S - Now I can dig my own Menorah out of storage.

It must never be forgotten that as well as the Jews many others were exterminated by the Nazi scum, like people of other ethnicities, homosexuals and people whose political opinions differed. >:(

I apologise if my comment offended, but I was born a Jew.

Although I agree that far too may non-Jews perished at the hands of the Nazi's, Jews were closely followed by the Russian military, the Jews were their primary target - as in the "total extermination of the Jewish people".

All are, and should, be remembered, especially with the rise of the Neo-Nazis in Germany now.
