The Holocaust. It is a subject I have visited in my bookmaking many times. As the decades move on, our memories fade. The witnesses are no longer alive to speak. It is even more crucial to remind ourselves that these events took place. We need to teach young people that the integrity of our humanity towards others is always at risk and that the sepia images of the past are the reminders of our own failings.
