First they came for the Communists,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Communist.
Then they came for the Jews,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Jew.
Then they came for the Catholics,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a Protestant.
Then they came for me,
and by that time there was no one
left to speak up for me.

Programme outline
This outline may be reviewed following feedback from those wishing to
attend. At this stage we plan for a few individuals to briefly
present relevant information in order to kick start each session,
which will develop into open discussion. This will be followed by a
general discussion. Each session will be supported by an informal
"chair" to ensure they run smoothly. If you have any comments please
contact us a.s.a.p. (contact details below)
