From the pictures I have seen, anyone who had been in Hull as the bombs fell during the last war would have known exactly what that phrase meant. So would those who investigated the ‘final solution’ at Auschwitz or Belsen. So would those who suffered mustard gas in the First World War. And destruction not just of lives, but of families, of places of work, of ways of life, of minds. Though there are many ways of looking at what went on recently, I am still deeply thankful that enough people were concerned enough to do something about the threat of evil in the last war. I am free to live my life as a result. Yet throughout the world, still people are persecuted for what they believe or who their parents are. As we honour those who gave us freedom, can we perhaps do something to help others get their freedom too? STEPHEN |
