Holocaust Memorial Day 2012
Every year the council marks Holocaust Memorial Day by inviting all residents to attend a special ceremony to remember those who lost their lives through genocide.
The ceremony, held on Sunday 22 January 2012, which starts with a civic procession in Hendon led by the Mayor of Barnet, culminates in a range of special guests talking in front of an audience about their own personal experiences.
This year’s theme is ‘Speak Up, Speak Out’ and guests will be encouraged to remember the past, reflect on the present and react tocreate a better future.
In attendance will be The Worshipful the Mayor of the London Borough of Barnet, Councillor Lisa Rutter, and the Leader of theCouncil, Councillor Richard Cornelius.
The London Cantorial Singers and Alyth Youth Singers choir groups will perform.
Everyone is welcome to attend. More Information..
