Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh UK Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration will be an online event on 19th January 2025 at 3pm.

The Holocaust was one of the darkest chapter in human history.

With the emphasis on ‘Light the darkness ‘ theme, we will hear from Diana Cook a speaker from Generation 2 Generation who will explore echoes from the past and tell us ‘The story of Margot’- Diana’s mother, Margot Hodge née Pogorzelski who escaped the horrors of Nazi Germany a few weeks before war broke out. It was after Margot died in 2014 that Diana realised that her mother’s memories were now her responsibility.
Diana will use family photos and voiced extracts from a brief memoir Margot wrote describing her childhood and early adult life. She will describes how Margot’s idyllic childhood changed dramatically after Hitler came to power in 1933 .
The online event will also delve into the persecution and genocide Hindus have suffered in the past and continue to suffer today in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Myanmar and Afghanistan.
At Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh UK , we look forward to hearing Diana Cook’s family story.
