British people love to talk about saving Jews from the Nazis. Do you imagine they were flown in by benevolent aircrafts?

They came in the bowels of boats, on crowded trains, walked for miles across mountains. They were turned away at ports, put in prisons, called invaders.

My grandfather came here on the Kindertransport from Berlin, before the War began. The Quakers paid for his train ticket. The family at Durham Cathedral gave him a home. It was ordinary people of British civil society that rescued Jews, often in spite of government wishes.

You have a choice. You can be like the people that helped the Jews escape Nazis, or you can be like the people who made them run.

Take the option that you will feel comfortable telling your grandchildren about. Know that you will one day answer before God.
