Anzac Day dawn service

This was well attended. Many people took their children - I spoke to a couple with their little girl and boy sitting by me. The Australian and New Zealand national anthems were sung.
Afterwards I went to a talk by Dr Breann Fallon from the Sydney Jewish Museum. There were many stories of Jewish resistance during the holocaust. Two I have bookmarked are about Dr Janusz Korczak who ran an orphanage in Warsaw and could have escaped, but chose to die in Treblinka with his children rather than abandon them; and Sir Nicholas Winton who rescued 669 children and got them to Britain. Now they number 5,000 descendants. He lived to a great age and was able to meet many grateful people who owe their lives to him.
