We were honoured to join the Mayor of Ramsgate and his guests at a Holocaust Memorial Service on Tuesday 27th January. The service marked Holocaust Memorial Day - the international day on 27th January - which marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp.
On Holocaust Memorial Day we remember the six million Jewish men, women and children who were murdered, and the millions more murdered under Nazi persecution. We also learn and commemorate where persecution led in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. Alongside community and religious leaders, and our friends from other local secondary schools, our students reflected on the lives lost, and participated in moments of remembrance — acknowledging the importance of standing together against prejudice and hatred.
