Residents and school pupils gathered at the Warwick War Memorial last week to mark Holocaust Memorial Day. Two of our Year 9 students, Henry and Joshua attended on behalf of Myton School. This year’s theme for the Memorial Day was ‘Ordinary People’, and Henry and Josh read a poem by Holocaust survivor, Elie Wiesel called ‘Never Shall I Forget’.
Organiser Dave Sternberg said: “It is wonderful to see how the Warwick and Leamington communities have come together to commemorate the Holocaust and to remember the other genocides that have happened since 1945, through prayer, poetry, music, art and education.
“Hopefully lessons will be learned, and we will remember the vital importance of tolerance and kindness in our lives.”
