“Look at how a single candle can both defy and define the darkness.” -Anne Frank
We must not forget, we must not repeat. Yet it has been repeated in many parts of the world in recent history.

Okay I googled it. My history is questionable, clearly.
Aramaic is a language that originated among ancient Arameans, at the beginning of the 1st millennium BC, and later became one of the most prominent languages of the ancient Near East. During its three thousand years long history, Aramaic went through several stages of development. Wikipedia

So beautifully sung – angelic. The Lord’s prayer. We said this at school I remember. I am not Christian, but I do love the words of the prayer and even the bits of the bible I understand. I think anything that brings us close to God and his love is beautiful.

It is a lovely thought by Anne Frank. We read her diary at school. It is so hard to believe the history of man-kind. The dehumanising of others.

It inspired me to keep a diary, and reading about the plight of the family really made learning about the Holocaust feel personal because I cared about these individuals.

That is really great. I think those that survived lived a happy life despite what they went through, at least it seems from the interviews. But it can’t be easy.
