The UK Jewish Community are coming together to commemorate Yom HaShoah

News Report from JN1

A song for Yom HaShoah, 'Never Again', composed and performed by Stephen Melzack to inspire, educate and commemorate Yom HaShoah

The Jewish calendar has for centuries successfully marked events that took place thousands of years ago. Yet Yom HaShoah - the day designated in 1953 to mark an event that almost devastated the community just 70 short years ago - passes by in dignified silence.

That is about to change

This year will see a step change in commemoration. Schools, youth groups, communities, families are all taking part.

Play your part and join them!

Respect a one minute silence @ 11.00 on Thursday 16th April 2015

Attend local events or the National Commemoration at Barnet Copthall Stadium on Sunday 19 April 2015 at 2pm

The time is here and now for Yom HaShoah to be given the 'honour' of being recognised as an equal to all other important dates in the calendar of UK Jewry.
