Sharing a Story; The Reason I study the Holocaust.

On Footsteps, we have asked people to share their stories, their connection to the Holocaust. Of course not everyone has a direct connection, we have grandchildren of SS guards, of Nazi Criminals... Everyone from different backgrounds sharing their stories. So I thought, instead of paining everyone with my story via Footsteps, I would post it here, it's nothing special of course, I have no direct connection to the Holocaust. I just feel a deep sense of meaning when I think of my life, working against the rise of racism and making sure that this never happens again. 

This is a brief story of how I came to be part of a wonderful team, and started to fight against the rise of hatred in this world. 

Places to Visit

As someone who adores history, there has always been certain places which I want to visit, some are more of a need now than a want. Auschwitz will be of course mentioned, I am yet to go but in 19 days I will be in Poland ready to go there. These are not all WWII areas, some date back to dynasties in China, as I have always had a keen interest in The Three Kingdoms of China. This will probably become more of a bucket list of places I need to one day go to. These places will be a varied list of places which include shrines, temples, prisons and camps. Also Memorial halls as some do not have structured buildings to use as memorials etc. I have been to many places, including Churchill's war rooms, some of the remaining preserved trenches, so many of these won't be mentioned on the list.

A/N: I will continue to add to this list as time goes on. This was going to be a 'page' but Blogger didn't want that to happen!
