4 February 1891 | A Dutch Jew, Mozes Olivier, was born in Amsterdam. He was a merchant. In September 1942 he was deported to #Auschwitz with his wife Betje and their two daughters, Anna and Jeannette. They were all murdered in a gas chamber.

I lost my brother to cancer. I was with him when he was told his diagnosis - a moment I will never forget. Throughout, the NHS respected and cared for him. When he passed away, it hit me like a bus - even though I knew it was coming. I'm determined that every person diagnosed with cancer gets the best possible chance of beating it. Our National Cancer Plan is the most ambitious in a generation. It means earlier diagnosis, slashing waiting lists and investing in cutting-edge technology to build an NHS fit for the future.

“Once people get the idea that the future is not fated—that it can be affected by action—they may come to understand the depth of the changes required, and see the limitations of electoral politics in achieving them.”
