Holocaust Memorial Day – shining a light on the past and the present
We need to guard against historical revisionism, while recognising just how close Nazi-fascism came to achieving its stated goal, warns PHIL KATZ

Nowhere before in history had a political movement emerged — Nazism — whose principal aim was the use of state power to completely erase another group from the face of the Earth. As a result of the Nuremberg Laws of 1935, this was all to be achieved legally.
Nowadays, we memorialise the Holocaust, but all too rarely stop to recognise how close Nazi-fascism came to achieving its stated goal.
