The Mayor of Cheshire East, Councillor Marilyn Houston, will lead the service at Macclesfield Town Hall at 10.30am on Monday 27 January.
Members of the public are warmly welcome to attend and will be joined by civic dignitaries representing communities from across the borough. The leader of Cheshire East Council, Councillor Nick Mannion and deputy leader Councillor Michael Gorman will attend and give short addresses.
The hour-long ceremony will include readings of testaments from survivors of genocide, the lighting of memorial candles and a two minutes’ silence.
The guest speaker will be Ms Leah Burman, from the Northern Holocaust Education Group (NHEG). She will recount the story of her father, Ziggy Landschaft, who as a teenager survived the Krakow Ghetto, forced labour camps, the ‘death march’ to the notorious Mauthausen Concentration Camp and being shot while escaping just hours before liberation from the Nazis by the US army in May 1945.
