I don't know quite what to say, how to put it into words. We had a reflection today in the chaplaincy, and some of the pictures speak for themselves. I will never be able to imagine it, how it was, what people felt or experienced. We will never know.
All I do know is we must never forget. If we do we are in danger of such terrible things happening again. We must remember, that it did happen, 60 years ago. And it wasn't super-human evil beings, but ordinary people who weren't aware.
We must be aware, and we must remember. Richard quotes the emotive words of Martin Niemoller, which sum it all up better than I can.
Lord, keep our eyes open to the injustice and suffering around us. Enable us to be the agents of peace and understanding which will prevent such atrocities in the future. Do not let us forget those we have lost. Let them live on in those who remember.
