It is my turn at Vision & Verb and today I am sharing a tragic event from my family history.

We should never forget the cost of idealism, ambition and greed. It leads to unacceptable atrocities and tragedy.

Holocaust Memorial Day provides an opportunity for everyone to learn lessons from the Holocaust, Nazi persecution and subsequent genocides and apply them to the present day to create a safer, better future. On HMD we share the memory of the millions who have been murdered in the Holocaust and subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur in order to challenge hatred and persecution in the UK today.

My hope is that people will become enlightened and that hatred and persecution throughout the world will cease to be.

No ‘one’ person can change the world, but everyone can contribute with their thoughts and actions. Those thoughts and actions cause a ripple effect, hopefully towards a better future.
