Holocaust Memorial Day
27 January 2023 @ 11:00 AM - 12:00 PM
The number of events and services has been increasing around Norfolk and elsewhere, encouraging everyone to remember and stand together to spread the need to stop division and hatred.
In Norwich a public service of remembrance for the Holocaust is to take place at St Peter Mancroft Church.
This is an annual event commemorating the day Auschwitz-Birkenau was liberated from the terror of the Holocaust in the Second World War. This day is to remember the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, and millions of other people killed under Nazi Persecution. Subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur will also be remembered.
The theme this year is ‘Stand Together’. We will remember and everyone is encouraged to stand together to stop division and the spread of hatred in our society.
Reverend Fiona Haworth, Associate Priest of St Peter Mancroft Church and Rabbi Roderick Young, member of the Norwich Hebrew Congregation and the Norwich Liberal Jewish Community. With Student Rabbi Hannah Altorf will lead this service.
