It’s strange to me . I was born 10 years after the end of the second world war. I was brought up on the war and the Holocaust . Favourite childhood books , The Silver Sword about displaced children, Miriam , a Jewish girl who fell in love with a boy in Hitler Youth. Diary of Anne Frank of course . Antisemitism is incomprehensible to me . The concentration camps . The horror . The cruelty .
This is a failure of education .
I passed the books on to my eldest grandchild but they didn’t have the same impact. I grew up playing on bomb sites and had tin hats and a Luger pistol to play with and my grandad had an Anderson shelter in his garden .
I am so ashamed of Britain today . Our prime minister and his government are useless . Our society is not one I recognise
I have always loved the Jewish people and read widely around the establishment of the modern state of Israel. WW2 books and English stories of dating do from British writers. Jackie, Judy and Schoolfriend were my favourite comics. I am so sad to see this attack in Manchester. I guess this is what the barbarians have been threatening to globalise. This is how they behave with a peace deal too!
