‘Have we forgotten the lessons of the Holocaust?’

Do you agree with our readers? Have your say on these MetroTalk topics and more in the comments. I write this on Holocaust Memorial Day (Mon), hearing about the six million Jews, and others, who were systematically murdered by the Nazis in World War II.
This is exactly one week after Donald Trump’s inauguration in Washington, when Elon Musk shamelessly sieg-heiled and just one day after Trump was recorded equating Gaza to a demolition site and stating that its people should be ‘cleaned out’ (to Egypt or Jordan).
Have we forgotten the lessons of how man’s inhumanity to man can be taken to such an extreme when hatred of ‘others’ is collectively deemed appropriate?. Or are some of us learning how to follow Nazi principles and considering our own country-folk as superior to others who we would prefer not to live alongside?.
Wishing shalom, salam and peace to us all. Judy Baldwinson, via email. ‘Should we have mass deportation of immigrants here, too?’. Nick Smith (MetroTalk, Fri) thinks we need a leader like Trump, who will put Britons and his country first, and those born outside second.
Does Nick think we should have mass deportation of immigrants here? The danger is that legal immigrants could be caught up and deported in error. It seems like it could be the start of a slippery slope to getting rid of any person not seen as being British, even if born and bred here. C Jones, Middlesex.
