This year’s programme will feature a candle-lighting ceremony as well as testimony from Mindu Hornick MBE, who will talk about her experiences as a Holocaust survivor, plus performances from violinist Simone Schehtman, as well as poetry and prayer readings.
The Lord Mayor of Birmingham, Cllr Chaman Lal, said: “Holocaust Memorial Day is an opportunity for everyone to pause, reflect and learn lessons from the past and apply them to the present day to help create a safer, better future.
“We are coming together to light a candle and remember victims of atrocities and genocides around the world, as well as those who are still sadly losing their lives through war, conflict and hate crime. As a city we must stand united against those that seek to divide us and against all forms of hate.
