Holocaust Memorial Day event tonight

Published 25 Jan 2012 14:30

PEOPLE will come together tonight to remember victims of the Holocaust.

Reading's Civic Centre will host the annual night of remembrance from 6.30pm and this year's theme focuses around 'Speak Up, Speak Out', and aims to encourage people to have a voice.

Holocaust survivor Freddie Knoller will also talk to guests about his experience of being marched from one concentration camp to another before escaping to America.

A candle-lighting ceremony will also take place at the free event, which has been organised by Reading Council for Racial Equality and Reading Borough Council.
