We would like to invite staff to this year’s Sutton Council Holocaust Memorial Day at 10.30am-12noon on Friday 27 January 2012 in the Europa Gallery in our Central Library.
The theme of this year’s event is ‘Speak Up, Speak Out’ and has the aim of encouraging people to challenge injustice and hatred and help to create a safer, better future. There will be speeches from the Mayor of Sutton, Cllr Gerry Jerome, Holocaust survivor Marcel Ladenheim, Mr. Meddie Kakyama-Mayanja, who will speak on the African genocides, and Reverend Meir Lev, Minister of Sutton and District Synagogue.
There will be reference to local experiences of hate crime in Sutton, along with a stall from the Safer Sutton Partnership on reporting hate crime to bring a local perspective to the theme of ‘Speak Up, Speak Out’.
You will also have the opportunity to view an exhibition which will have information and some photographs on this theme.
If you would like to attend, please contact Simon Breeze at the London Borough of Sutton on 0208 770 5070.
