Holocaust Memorial Day 2016

As the 27th January fast approaches we turn our thoughts to Holocaust Memorial Day. The theme for this year is 'Don't Stand By' and focuses on the bystanders and the inaction of people and countries during the Holocaust as well as remembering the many people who perished.

As ambassadors for the Holocaust Educational Trust, we emphasise an element of importance on Holocaust Memorial Day and the importance of remembering such an event. As the last generation to hear first hand from survivors it is important to carry on the memory so events like this can never happen again.

We have many events and activities planned for the day and the week itself. We plan to follow our local commemorative event in our town. We also have numerous presentations and activities planned within our school and sixth form. In addition to this we hope to outreach to our local first school and help educate younger pupils in our community.
