I was watching some of the stories on the news earlier. I went on a holocaust tour last year that will always stay with me.

We also go to the memorial just outside newark once a year

It’s important to remember such things happened when people voted in a right wing nationalist inward looking political party.

I still find it beyond my comprehension how someone can treat another person in that way, to regard them as less than animals, to degrade them so much and to destroy thousands of people every day as if they were nothing.

It should never be forgotten and never ever be repeated EVER!!!!

It’s a miracle anyone one survived

I went to the camps at Oswiecim and Brzezinka (Auschwitz and Birkenau) when I lived in Poland. I'm glad I went but it was far from a pleasant experience. I'm not sure I could go again, this was twenty years ago before I was a parent. It was November, there was snow on the rooves of the huts. What really upset me was the size of the camp at Birkenau, the size of the gas chambers and crematoria. They were blown up before the camp was reached by allied troops but the ruins are there, you can see how big they were.

I just hope we learn the lessons of time, and this never happens again. Man's inhumanity to man. Unbelievable.

Unfortunately it has happened again since and will happen again. Because it isn't in Europe or of economic effect to us it just gets overlooked.

As it happens, Hitlers party - The National Socialist Party - was LEFT wing. Not that politics can ever excuse what was done to countless innocent people.

I watched the Holocaust Memorial Day service ..... and sobbed.....

What must have they thought

How much they endured

How did it ever happen

How did it go unnoticed

Mental torture at its most wicked level

It’s so very sad

No. It wasn't. It was an extreme right wing fascist party that was very much anti-communist. Having Socialist in its name didn't mean it was left wing.

The one thing to take from the Holocaust is that human beings are capable of such evil and depravity - with disturbingly little provocation. They always have been - and still are.

Try reading Hitlers' biography, he was a Pagan communist, who owned almost nothing, and saw the Jews as the ultimate capitalists.

Absolutely, and sadly, many such groups are still persecuted in many countries. Such a shame society can't be more tolerant.
