Civic, community and faith partners came together to remember the millions of people murdered during the Holocaust, under Nazi persecution and in the genocides which followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day this year was Be the light in the Darkness to encourage everyone to reflect on the depths humanity can sink to, but also the ways individuals and communities have resisted that darkness to âbe the lightâ before, during, and after genocide.
