37 years ago the cowardly terrorists of the IRA brutally murdered 6 off duty soldiers in our home of Lisburn. They had been taking part in the "fun run", raising money for charity. We will never forget them. Sergeant Michael Winkler (31) Corporal Ian Metcalf (36) Lance Corporal Derek Green (20) Lance Corporal Graham Lambie (22) Lance Corporal William Patterson (22) Signalman Mark Clavey (24) Lest we forget 🌺❤

#OTD The first wave of deportations from Slovakia took place between 26 March and 29 October 1942. During that year, some two thirds of the Jews in Bratislava were sent to the death camps. At least 7,000 Slovakian Jews succeeded in escaping across the border to Hungary. After the deportations some 4,200 Jews remained in Bratislava. Not all of these Jews were originally residents of the city; some had been granted temporary ‘certificates of exemption’, while others survived in hiding.
