75 years ago today we were celebrating defeating the Nazis... [View all]

Our parents, grandparents or great grandparents, depending on how old we are risked everything and sacrificed all that was required to defeat the horror of Nazi Europe. How brave they were. 75 years later we are witness to the rise of the far right yet again. As the strong man era is seemingly being consolidated rather than defeated in this time of Covid, how disappointed they would be at the worlds lack of collective memory at how quickly things can spiral out of control when good men do not do enough.
