It is National Holocaust Memorial Day which is held every 27th Jan to mark the victims of genocide from Armenian Genocide of 1915 through to the Jewish experience of the Second World War to more recent examples in Rwanda, Darfur , etc In Leek we have marked the event for several years now . The theme changes every year and this year the theme is the fragility of freedom Attachment Deleted |

I had the utterly efifying experience of standing infront of th shrine to this man at Auschwitz. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximilian_KolbeReligion is responsible for an awful lot of pernicious stuff in the world,but every now and again it produces people of this humanity and nobility. |
