It is Holocaust Memorial Day 27th January. It will be the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
Events in Paris and recently demonstrate that lessons are still to be learned of Man's inhumanity to Man.
HMD is about reminding us not just of the events 70years ago- but of every act of Genocide and Hate Crime that still occurs.
Watch this programme on BBC2 thursday 21:30.
Holocaust survivor Freddie Knoller (now in his 90s) tells his personal story of being a young Jewish man during World War II.
There won't be many more actual survivors to tell the stories. If they tell one person though then the memory survives to remind us of the HORROR.
Look at what is happening in Cameroon today.
What is this about in Niger?
We tolerate all faiths, colours and creeds in Britain - providing they obey our laws.
If what they want to do is against our law then why don't they leave and go somewhere where they can practice it? For example in Abu Dhabi we cannot drink alcohol and if we visit there we respect their laws.

Clarkson has a foul mouth?
So Jezza has put his foot in it again,? Using a "naughty" word.
Now I'm not a fan of Jeremy Clarkson, he does not amuse me and irritates like mosquito bite but on this occasion I am with him.
What is it with these "Language Police"? Certain words are now banned, they used to be OK but now you can't say them because you might "offend" someone.
For heaven's sake they are only a collection of letters pronounced In a certain way. Where is the offence? Surely it is the context that they are used. Will the Thought-Police ban all words that have other meanings that offend, its like 1984, Newspeak? Rewriting history will be next - the Holocaust never happened? Did William the Conqueror invade us or was he invited?
What about "Bl*ck Labradors" - will they all have to be Euthanized or given another name? "Un-white Labradors". Gosh I'm getting paranoid now - what dare I write - someone may get offended?
Didn't Guy Gibson, Dambuster and War Hero call his dog this "N" name? Now I hear they can't use it in the latest film of the Dam Busters!
Re-writing history has started.
Bah.
