An explosion rocked the camp. Flames and smoke belched in the distance but not from the chimneys. He strained to see; a crematorium was in flames. His message had come too late to stop it. But the Sonderkommando had done it. Guards and trucks swarmed towards the site of the explosion.

Remembrance & White Poppies

The white poppy has been worn in the run-up to Remembrance Day for over ninety years, as a symbol of remembrance and peace.White poppies are worn every year by thousands of people across the UK and beyond. They were first produced in 1933 in the aftermath of the First World War, by members of the Co-operative Women's Guild. Many of these women had lost family and friends in the First World War.

Not astronomy this morning. Have my Akela hat on today for #Remebrance Sunday #scouts #Scouting
Hoy es 11 de noviembre, día de conmemoración en Francia, con ceremonias en los monumentos de los muertos de cada pueblo para marcar el final de la Primera Guerra mundial.
Me gusta como algunos países lo han hecho día de conmemoración por todas las guerras y sus caídos.
