Voting remains incredibly close. There's currently one story with a bit of a lead but then there are EIGHT stories within TWO votes of each other. So, every vote counts! (Please don't let it end in a tie! I think that would stress me over the edge!)
Now that all the shortlist (barring my winners!) have been published, you can vote for your favourites in the PEOPLE'S PRIZE!!
You've got until the 31st Jan to cast your vote.
Vote for 3 stories.
The 2 stories with the most votes share the crown!!

Remember, the Holocaust didn’t start with gas chambers in Auschwitz.
It started with politicians dividing the people with “us vs. them”.
It started with intolerance and hate speech.
It started when people stopped caring, became desensitized, and turned a blind eye.
