Starting off by saying that I am posting this as an individual, not as a member of staff.

I have personally been very troubled by one of the role plays which is being written at the moment, although support Tiger’s right to give the principle that such things are acceptable here. I know that the story being written is only fantasy, and I am sure the people involved do not endorse the behaviours and attitudes they are describing, but all the same it leaves me feeling very uncomfortable.

I have however just read this news report, which I am posting to hopefully redress the balance. It follows events which mark the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau death camp.

Prime Minister Tony Blair. "The Holocaust was a uniquely terrible event in human history. We are the last generation who will be able to hear directly from its survivors and liberators. We must ensure their testimony does not die," he said. "We must remember, too, those individuals who stood out against this tide of evil, who risked everything in the name of humanity. We must reflect as well that intolerance, hatred, even genocide did not end 60 years ago.

"Holocaust Memorial Day underlines both our duty to remember the horrors of the past and the responsibility of each of us to shape the future so they are never repeated."
Lest we forget
