A Holocaust Memorial Day event will be hosted by the Mayor of Dorchester on Tuesday 27thJanuary.
The drop in exhibition will take place at the Corn Exchange, Dorchester, from 10am to 12pm.
The exhibition will offer a space for reflection, commemoration and learning. Attendees are encouraged to ‘engage actively with the past’ and carry those lessons into today.
Holocaust Memorial Day is a time to remember not only the Jewish victims but also the millions more who were targeted and killed during the Holocaust. The theme for the Memorial Day event is “Bridging Generations,’ a gentle reminder that remembrance does not end with survivors, but it lives on through it being taught and passed down to children, grandchildren and all of us.
It is a time to listen and learn, which will build a bridge between history and ‘hope for the future.’
There will be art shown by Lorna Brunstein, a second-generation Holocaust survivor. It will also include displays and information about the Holocaust and other genocides.
The event has been organized by Dorchester Town Council, Dorset Council and Kushti Bok. It will be free for the public to visit and pay their respects.
Visitors will have the opportunity to light a candle to remember the past and consider all the persecution that has happened in the world.
