After the Nazi slaughter of six million Jews during World War II, the world cried out "never again." But one of Britain's best-known rabbis, Jonathan Romain, of Maidenhead Synagogue in Berkshire, said although it was a wonderful phrase, "never again" has proved to be wrong.
"Genocide has happened again and again," he said in an interview with the Ecumenical News International website ahead of Holocaust Memorial Day, January 27, 2011.
"We only have to think about Biafra, Bosnia, Darfur, and there are other examples," said Romain.
He added, "The list is deeply depressing and screams out that Holocaust Memorial Day is needed as much now as ever before."
