I’m running the Boston Marathon on April 21st. A possibly once-in-a-lifetime experience, set amongst a two weeks family trip to Cape Cod and NYC. And yet, this type of story is making me feel nervous about the whole thing, even though I’ve not done anything wrong…

On #HolocaustMemorialDay, I'm remembering not a victim, but a journalist. Noel Newsome was the head of the BBC European Service. Unlike just about everybody else involved at the time he attempted to ensure that news of the Final Solution was broadcast by the BBC while it was actually taking place.
