Krystallnacht - 11/10/1938

Next Monday night - 10 November - is the 70th anniversary of that horrendous night in Germany's history and the start of the Jewish exclusion and Hitler's eventual attempts at extermination of the Jewish race in Euorope.

I shall remember them.

But that is not all.

There millions of others killed since then - in the furtherance of political ideals and the personal lust for power - who should also be remembered;
Cambodia
Rwanda
Congo
Zimbabwe
South Africa
Russia
China
Chile
Argentina
Palestine
Lebanon
Israel
Somalia
Sudan
Mozambique

And let us also remember those who performed these atrocities.

Most importantly, let us all remember that we did little and nothing to prevent or stop them. In some instances we have been guilty of actively assisting those who kill.

Commend the innocent to your Gods.
