Havering’s annual Holocaust Memorial Day Service, will take place at 2pm this Sunday, the 27 January in Coronation Gardens, Main Road, Romford. The service is multi-faith and non-denominational and all are welcome to attend.
Holocaust Memorial Day marks the anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration camp at Auschwitz-Birkenau. The Day commemorates the millions of lives lost in the Holocaust as a result of Nazi persecution and in more recent genocides. The event seeks to educate people about the Holocaust and to highlight its relevance to today’s generation.
A Council spokesman, said: "Genocides in our recent past in places such as Bosnia, Rwanda and Darfur, clearly show that the lessons of the Holocaust are as relevant today as they have ever been." For more information, visit the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust website: http://www.hmd.org.uk/
