1/ Tomorrow, Wednesday, is #HolocaustMemorialDay in the UK.

We will remember the victims of the Holocaust and subsequent genocides. We also honour those who, through bravery & humanity, have been lights in the darkness. https://twitter.com/HMD_UK/status/1352337669418717185

2/ There are so many such people in many different countries & times. People like the late Lena Lopes-Dias and other members of the Dutch resistance who risked their lives to successfully hide my grandparents throughout the Nazi occupation of .

3/ People like my Dad's teachers at @Caterham_School in who cared for a 12-year-old German Jewish boy who barely spoke a word of English - something my father, now 97, remains grateful for to this day.

4/ People like the women in Battambang, Cambodia whose quick thinking helped protect my wife, Sophari, then 13, from being killed by Khmer Rouge militia for the "crime" of "stealing" rice. As a result, my wife survived the those years - unlike her father, sister & 2 brothers.

5/ The need for such humanity & courage continues today. So tomorrow please:
- join the online @HMD_UK ceremony at 7pm UK time, (my wife happens to be among the survivors appearing)
- and then light a candle at 8pm and consider what each of us can do to #LightTheDarkness
