It’s on the to do list for the wife’s 50th next year.
May I also suggest a visit to the little known “National Holocaust Centre” At Laxton, nr Newark.
Certainly clears the mind. I doubt many have visited there despite its closeness.

Read The Holocaust by Laurence Rees. Utterly stunning. Explains how the hatred built and became acceptable.

The centre in Newark is undeniably moving.

I remember going to the Imperial War museum a few years ago too for their Holocaust memorial and it was outstanding. I’ve never been to a museum and read every single thing, watched every clip and then when you exit past an experimental operating table shed a tear.

Love the “Imperial War Museum” as well, reminds me of what we stand for!

I’ll look that up, often driving back that way from work

Not had a bad report on Krakow, seems to be a nice place to visit

It’s not much to get in and your ticket is valid for a year, decent little cafe as well.

No, but I think we did see various dates for that mentioned. We’ll try and get there again this year.

Genuine question, so no offence intended. Is the fact the Holocaust was perpetrated by the Germans a/the for your dislike?

The main reason was my grandad was captured after his bomber was shot down. Instead of being treated as a POW he was murdered in a school by the villagers nearby. Overlooked by the local police as they stood by. As we're many of our service men

Thank you, much appreciated.
