Rochdale Multi-Faith Partnership release short film to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day Date published: 27 January 2021
Holocaust Memorial Day is commemorated on 27 January every year
Holocaust Memorial Day takes place on 27 January each year and Rochdale borough holds an annual commemoration, hosted in a different part of the borough each year in rotation – Heywood, Middleton, Littleborough and Rochdale.
This year, the commemoration was due to take place in Rochdale, however due to Covid-19 it was not possible to hold a public event.
As an alternative, the Borough of Rochdale Multi-Faith Partnership, supported by Rochdale Safer Communities Partnership, has produced a digital film to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust and other genocides past and present. It also aims to raise awareness that the threat and potential for genocide taking place somewhere in the world is an ever-present reality.
