Holocaust Memorial Day

Islington Council

Islington Assembly Hall

Holocaust Memorial Day is observed ever 27 January and is an opportunity for us to come together learn, share and remember the holocaust and genocides that followed in Rwanda, Bosnia, Darfur and Cambodia. 

The theme for this year is 'Ordinary People'. This theme highlights the ordinary people who were persecuted, let it happen and perpetrated it. Reflecting on this theme we can look at how we play a role in creating a fairer and more equal society. 

As well as remarks from MPs and local councillors, the event will include a presentation from Ros Gelbart, telling her father David Herman’s story of surviving several Nazi labour camps. There will also be music from the World Harmony Orchestra, whose musicians include refugees from around the world. 

Doors open at 9.30am for attendees to arrive and sign in. The World Harmony Orchestra will perform at 10am.
