HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY

Today, January 27, has been set aside as Holocaust Memorial Day. It's hard to believe that, not only did it happen, but it did so relatively recent in our history. It wasn't back when people rode about in armour and placed severed heads on poles. No; it was when Hollywood produced films which we still enjoy. We have relatives who are still alive from that time period.
It is also astounding that it was done with such precise detailing; the matter of factness of it all. The images and stories of the camps are familiar. I leave you with this instead. It's from the series "War and Remembrance", of which I have written previously. It is highly disturbing and graphic for television. It should be and we shouldn't forget.
