Holocaust Memorial Day event in Kettering to give people 'a moment to pause'
Victims of the Holocaust will be remembered in Kettering this year as part of Holocaust Memorial Day.
The event will take place in the Manor House Gardens, off Sheep Street, at 2pm on Tuesday, January 27.
Hosted by the mayor of Kettering, Cllr Ben Jameson, the event consists of a short, non-denominational service of remembrance for victims of genocide worldwide including current conflicts.
Cllr Jameson said: “Holocaust Memorial Day gives us a moment to pause, to remember the millions of people who suffered and were murdered during the Holocaust and in genocides since.
"It is also a reminder of our shared responsibility to stand against prejudice and hatred in all its forms.
"I am proud that our community comes together each year in reflection, solidarity and hope for a more compassionate future.”
The service will be led by the Revd Angie Milne and will involve contributions from Russell Attwood representing the Baha’i faith, pupils from Latimer Arts College and Mayoral Cadet Carys Toms.
