The public are warmly invited to join a Holocaust Memorial Day Service in St Michael’s Churchyard on January 23. An open-air service of remembrance and reflection will take place at 11am to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust.

Holocaust Memorial Day takes place internationally each year on January 27, marking the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. The theme for this year’s campaign is Bridging Generations, highlighting the crucial role of the next generation in preserving the memory of the Holocaust.

An art exhibition based on this theme will be held at Stamford Town Hall featuring submissions from schools and colleges across the local area. Students have been working hard to design a piece of creative work for the exhibition.

Please do drop in to the Court Room at the Town Hall on St Mary’s Hill between 10:30am and 3:30pm between Monday January 26 and Friday January 30 to view their work.
