People in North Somerset have been asked to light the darkness to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27.
Residents are being encouraged to mark the day by placing lit candles in their windows from 8pm to remember the millions of people lost during the Holocaust and later genocides which took place in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
Leader of North Somerset Council, Don Davies, said: There has rarely been a better time to stand together as a community and light the darkness in memory of the victims of the holocaust and later genocides.
