A “window of opportunity” suddenly opened for me last week and as I hurried to get a letter in that day’s mail, I was able to share one of the first poems I was “forced” to memorize as a child. Because my parents were so cruel and mean, I memorized several poems and isn’t it odd that I still carry several in my heart? I wish all parents were as mean and cruel as mine; when I was being brought up there were Bible verses, parts of the Westminster Catechism, Lincoln’s preamble of The Gettysburg Address, and other joys.
Lord Mayor Councillor Mark Lygo at the service A service of reflection was broadcast online yesterday to mark Holocaust Memorial Day. The Lord Mayor of Oxford, Councillor Mark Lygo hosted the service which was attended by local councillors and faith leaders plus MP Annaliese Dodds. Every year January 27 is set aside to remember the millions of people who were murdered in the Holocaust and the genocides that have followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. The date marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp. This year the national theme was “Be the light in the darkness”.
