Thank you for sharing this. My great grandparents died at Auschwitz in 1943 according to Red Cross records. They sent my grandmother over to the UK at the beginning of the war, she never heard from them again or talked about it up until she died when I was 2. I will light a candle to remember them all x

I am the granddaughter and daughter of Holocaust Survivors. Tomorrow I shall be taking an active role in our county town’s official commemoration event, surrounded by people of all faiths and outlooks.

Thank you for lighting candles and for remembering.

I remember going to visit synagogues at my non-denomination primary school, here in Scotland. The horrors of the holocaust were part of our p7 project and has always stayed with me.
Sending ❤
I will light my candle tonight xx

Eternal God, you hold all of our days in your hands.
On this day, we come before you to remember the victims of the Holocaust.
We lament the loss of the six million Jews who were killed in the Holocaust, the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution, and victims of other genocides.
May our minds be clear and attentive to their memory and our hearts be moved to bear witness to their lives.
Today, help us to remember and recognise the sanctity of each human life, that all people are made in Your image.
One day, we pray that genocide and hatred will be no more, and that love will triumph over evil.
In our prayers and in our actions, help us to show this love in the world today.
Amen.
🕯
