Holocaust Memorial Day

Attended today’s Holocaust Memorial Day event at Haywards Heath organised by Amnesty International so that we all come together to remember, to learn about the Holocaust, Nazi Persecution and the genocides that followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur, in the hope that there may be One Day in the future with no genocide. Good to see members of all faiths and political outlook attending, organised by the Haywards Heath branch of Amnesty International and included representatives from Oathall Community College, Great Walstead School, Mid Sussex Islamic Centre and Masjid, St Wilfrid’s Church in Haywards Heath, Mid Sussex District Council, Burgess Hill Town Council and other members of the community. Poignant to hear the readings and consider how important it is that we learn from history particularly given events around the world that too often show a lack of respect for human life and human rights.
