HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY
27 January 2021

Holocaust Memorial Day

Events

The Mayor of Kettering, Cllr James Burton, will be holding a small service in commemoration of Holocaust Memorial Day TODAY (Wednesday 27th January).

Due to the current restrictions, the public cannot attend. However, the virtual service will be available to watch from 12pm today here:

The service will include poignant readings from the Mayor’s Chaplain, Reverend David Walsh, and members from the wider Kettering community.

Holocaust Memorial Day marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi deathcamp. It is an important commemoration that teaches people of the past, and to take action to create a safer future.

Cllr James Burton, The Mayor of the Borough of Kettering, said: “it is exceptionally important that we continue to observe Holocaust Memorial Day despite the current restrictions. I am saddened that members of the public cannot pay their respects in person with me, but I urge people to remember this day safely from home and to reflect on the responsibility it gives us to work for a safer, better future for everyone, and to tackle prejudice and discrimination.”
