THIS is how St Helens will remember victims of mass genocide next week for Holocaust Memorial Day. Held every year on January 27, Holocaust Memorial Day falls on the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp where more than a million people died during the second world war. In total, six million Jewish men, women and children were murdered in the Holocaust – while millions of others were killed in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur. Holocaust Memorial Day is one of the most important occasions on St Helens Borough Council’s events calendar which would usually see a commemoration ceremony held in St Helens Town Hall, attended by schools and key dignitaries.
