Kingston commemorates Holocaust Memorial Day on Sunday 25th January 2009 with a ceremony at the memorial tree in Memorial Gardens on Church Street at 2:30 – with opening words by the Mayor or Deputy Mayor and others with readings and songs. We will then walk to the Guildhall where there will be light refreshments , displays and speakers. We cordially invite you and family, friends, or colleagues to join us.

This year’s theme is Stand Up to Hatred
Speakers are:

Associate Dean Philip Spencer of Kingston University
Reverend Malachie Munyaneza a Rwandan survivor
Rebecca Mear of Refugee Action Kingston

Please see the attached flyer which we hope you can post onto a bulletin board.

We are also sponsoring a series of Film Showings on Wednesday evenings in January related to genocides. A second flyer gives dates/venues. Do join us for these and discussions thereafter.

Best wishes,
The Holocaust Memorial Day Working Group of the
Kingston Inter Faith Forum and RBK
