Around ten years ago an elderly concentration camp survivor came to Swansea to talk about his experiences in the Aushwitz extermination camp during the war.Leon's wife and baby son had been murdered by the nazis but somehow he had survived.
This gentle elderly man was a shining example of humanity but he warned his audience that we must never allow the fascists to regain their confidence.
I had seen Leon some years previously at the head of a 60000 anti nazi march in Welling South London where the BNP had its then headquarters.
Leon had received death threats from fascist thugs and his home had been attacked. He had to have security cameras and other safety precautions installed around his house.This man was in his eighties.
We owe it to the millions murdered in the war to ensure that these racist Hitler loving thugs dont ever get the chance to threaten people like Leon and dont ever get near state power.
