HOLOCAUST

On January 10th we commemorated those souls whose lives were unjustly stolen from them Those brutally murdered lost the warmth that home and family bring. First, they lost their sense of belonging, outcast by people no different to them - only on account of their religious beliefs. Through hate speech, prejudice and violence, their homes, as well as their lives were lost It follows that the theme of this year's UN International Day to Commemorate is “Home and Belonging”

Our Deputy Faith Lead, Mr Jasat, attended a very moving Holocaust Memorial Event on 24th January at the Waltham Forest Town Hall, organised by Holocaust Centre UK

The event was well attended by the Mayor of Waltham Forest, Leader of the Waltham Forest Council,

Deputy Lieutenant Jeremy Fern, senior Police officers and several other community and faith leaders Special guest and keynote speaker was Dr Agnes Kaposki MBE (a 90 year old Holocaust survivor)

Here in Eden, we made a memorial in the form of a wall display, to show our solidarity with the victims of the Holocaust A beautiful replica of the Holocaust Memorial Trust symbol made entirely of hundreds of pieces of coloured material Surrounding it, heart breaking stories of victims and survivors, not only from the Holocaust but other cruel genocides as well

And importantly as always, we attended a presentation to educate us and raise awareness of the crimes committed, to make sure humanity never repeats its grievous errors
