Fragility of Freedom is the theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2024, reflecting how genocide victims all had their freedom restricted and removed as they began to be persecuted.

And a ‘Lessons from Auschwitz’ ambassador and student from Egglescliffe School and Sixth Form College will reflect on their recent visit to Auschwitz concentration camp in Poland.

At the end of the evening, which will be hosted by the Mayor, a remembrance candle will be lit.

The event, has been organised with Shabana Marshall, Educator for the Holocaust Education Trust.
