Seventy Years On

There is to be another British State memorial to the Holocaust.

Britain's main contribution in relation to that was Churchill's refusal to bomb the railway lines to Auschwitz, a refusal which much later moved Menachem Begin to inform Margaret Thatcher that her country and her hero had caused the deaths of two million Jews.

Very soon thereafter, our Armed Forces and others were bombed out by the founders of modern terrorism, people who had tried to do a deal with Hitler at the height of the War. On one of them, see above.

No memorial exists, anywhere in the world, to the British victims, on British territory, of those pioneering terrorists.

Instead of a second one to the Holocaust, how about so much as a first one to them?
