nomads: MEMORIAL DAY
Nationwide, Thu 27 Jan
Sometimes it can be hard to get your head around the scale of an event. How, for example, can we come to terms with the fact that more than 150,000 people have died as a result of the tsunami in the Indian Ocean? The numbers are so great, we can only call it cataclysmic.
But compare that death toll - the result of an act of God - to the body count of the Holocaust, an entirely man-made occurrence. Six million people, mainly Jews, but also homosexuals, Roma and disabled people, perished as a result of the murderous Nazi pogrom. It’s a total exceeded in grimness only by Stalin's record in the Soviet Union.
Given that we’re so well versed on the tsunami, we can rest assured that we’re up to speed on the Holocaust, right? Wrong. Last month, a BBC survey claimed nearly half of us had never heard of Auschwitz, the Polish death camp where the Nazis killed over a million Jews, 75,000 Poles, 21,000 Roma and 15,000 Soviet prisoners of war between January 1942 and
January 1945.
Sixty years after the liberation of Auschwitz, it seems we’re due a brush up on our 20th century history. Up to 60% of women and the under 355 said they had never heard of Auschwitz, a statistic that will lend a special urgency to Holocaust Memorial Day on Thursday 27 January.
The theme of this year's event is Survivors and Liberation. In Glasgow, Professor Richard Overy of King’s College, London will present Scotland’s Fifth Holocaust Memorial Day Lecture at the University of Glasgow on
Wednesday 26 January. (Mark Fisher)
