Remembering

This is the duty of our generation as we enter the twenty-first century - solidarity with the weak, the persecuted, the lonely, the sick, and those in despair. It is expressed by the desire to give a noble and humanising meaning to a community in which all members will define themselves not by their own identity but by that of others

- Elie Wiesel, Holocaust Survivor



I attended a Holocaust memorial service today, which is always a humbling thing. I intended to speak to the gentleman in the photo after the service, but he disappeared straight afterwards. I was struck by how throughout the whole service, he was deep in thought.
