Letters: Lest we forget

Dear Editor

Unfortunately last week, May 8 passed with not a mention that it was the anniversary of V E Day.

Victory in Europe came after nearly six years of a fearful and vicious war in which fifty million were killed in defeating the greatest threat to civilisation – the evil threat of Fascism, that initially came to power in Germany, Italy and Japan.

It may seem that the non-recognition of 8 May last week, the 68th anniversary of VE Day – doesn’t really matter too much, but the importance of remembering are the lessons to be learned by today’s and future generations: being on guard against a fascist revival.
