Today is a special day, as it's the 100th birthday of Holocaust survivor and our dear friend, Henry Wuga MBE. Please send this centenarian and remarkable man some love.
‘Thou shalt not be a victim, thou shalt not be a perpetrator, but, above all, thou shalt not be a bystander.’
Our freedom is Fragile. The duty to defend it belongs to us all.

Henry Wuga came to #Glasgow on the #Kindertransport and was later evacuated.
At age 16 he was declared a ‘Category A Dangerous Enemy Alien’ after some letters he sent to his parents were intercepted. He was interned for 10 months but eventually released after several tribunals.
This wonderful book is out in paperback TODAY! If you’ve not yet read it, then run to your nearest bookshop to pick up a copy. It is one of the most compassionate books I’ve ever read - and my god we all need a bit more of that right now.
