The Bournemouth and Poole Holocaust Memorial Day Committee’s annual commemoration will be taking place on Sunday 28th January at the Lighthouse Poole. from 2.00pm to 4.30pm.The theme for HMD 2024 is ‘Fragility of Freedom’. We will be remembering the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Rwanda (7 April 1994 – 15 July 1994) and the 70th anniversary of the Roma Genocide in Auschwitz (2nd August 1944). We will also be hearing from someone who very recently felt the effect of the Fragility of Freedom.Our main our programme will be devoted to hearing the testimony of a Holocaust survivor as told by his daughter. The number of Holocaust survivors who are still alive to tell their stories is dwindling fast and those who are still alive are reluctant to travel very far so our speaker is from an organisation called Generation 2 Generation which provides speakers to tell their family Holocaust stories using eye-witness testimony.Please either print out a copy of your ticket or save it to your phone as entry is by ticket only.
