I have written on Holocaust themes many times and by far the most popular blog post – the one that gets the most ‘visits’ is this one about the hidden synagogue built in Theresienstadt concentration camp
A HOLOCAUST STORY – The Hidden Synagogue of Theresienstadt
The people mentioned in the story are still trying to find someone who knew of this synagogue- maybe even prayed in it so please pass on the story to anyone you know who might have been in Theresienstadt.
Both sets of my grandparents were from Germany and I well remember my amazement when I heard this story about my grandfather.

My mother and her sisters reached the safety of England on the kindertransport and her first months there were very traumatic.
I wrote in last week’s blog that this year marks 50 years since the capture and trial of Adolf Eichmann Hitler’s second in command who carried out the edicts of the Third Reich with terrifying enjoyment and horrifying precision.
These stories and all the other accounts of survivors must continue to be told so that the world never forgets and no one can ever deny what happened.
