Sheffield Candlelit Holocaust Memorial Ceremony

• Wednesday 27th Jan, 5:30pm, Winter Gardens (dress warmly)
  
• We will remember those who died in the Holocaust and more recent genocides through a series of reflections. We will consider what the world has learned since the Holocaust and what we still need to learn to ensure these appalling tragedies never happen again.
• The Lord Mayor of Sheffield, Cllr Graham Oxley, will host the ceremony. Speakers, including Sheffield school pupils, will use a series of reflections, music and stories to help us understand the significance of the legacy of hope and to learn how important lessons from our history can help us to deal with the issues of today.
