HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE 2021 FULL
The full statement of commitment, affirmed by guests on the day: The Rev Bob Allaway, Rabbi David Mason and Wightman Road Mosque trustee Bibi Khan led prayers before the gathering affirmed a statement of commitment read out by Cllr Sheila Peacock. The ‘Power of Words’ theme saw a performance by Haringey Vox choir and a poignant speech by Holocaust survivor Mr Kraus, as well as a cello performance of the ‘Schindler’s List’ theme, a procession of memorial candles and a flag raising ceremony. The multi-faith Holocaust Memorial Day event on Sunday 28 January 2018 saw residents, Councillors, faith leaders, schoolchildren and community groups gather at Haringey Civic Centre to remember victims of the Holocaust and those who have died in other genocides across the world. Haringey came together to honour the millions of Jews and others murdered at the hands of the Nazis. The theme for 2018 was the 'Power of Words'. Those attending heard the testimony of a Holocaust survivor as well as survivors of the Rwandan and Bosnian genocides. This moving ceremony involved religious and civic leaders of Haringey and centred on the theme of 'Torn from Home'. We held our annual commemoration ceremony for Holocaust Memorial Day on Sunday 27 January 2019. The annual, multi-faith event to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day in Haringey took place at the Civic Centre, Wood Green (N22 9SB) on Sunday 26 January. It explores how genocidal regimes throughout history have deliberately fractured societies by marginalising certain groups, and how these tactics can be challenged by individuals standing together with their neighbours, and speaking out against oppression. The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2020 was Stand Together. You can watch Haringey’s Mayor, Cllr Adam Jogee, and Rabbi David Mason of Muswell Hill Synagogue speaking on the importance of Holocaust Memorial Day and its continuing relevance. Unfortunately due to the pandemic, the annual, multi-faith event to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day in Haringey did not take place this year. This year’s theme was ‘be the light into darkness’, encouraging us all to reflect on the injustices, persecution and division in the world and to be the light of resistance against them. Millions of people lost their lives in concentration camps simply for being who they were. World War II saw the greatest genocide of people ever known. See all events taking place in the borough to mark Holocaust Memorial Day 2023.Įvery year we come together on the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp to remember all those who were murdered in the Holocaust. In 2011 Bruce Castle Museum hosted an exhibition of portraits of local Holocaust survivors by the artist Pergosh.
Since it was formed the Working Group has developed in partnership with Haringey Council a number of projects such as creating the Holocaust Memorial Garden of Remembrance, installing a sculpture for the garden and has brought the Anne Frank, Kindertransport and Janusz Korzak exhibitions to Haringey.
Haringey Council commemorates Holocaust Memorial Day by working with local councillors, Holocaust survivors, community religious representatives and council officers who form the Holocaust Memorial Day Working Group.
