Holocaust Memorial Day is on 27 January every year and offers an opportunity for people in the United Kingdom to reflect upon, consider and discuss how those events still have relevance for all members of today's society.
A Holocaust Memorial Day Service is organised by St Edmundsbury Borough Council and St Edmundsbury Cathedral and is held annually in the Abbey Gardens, Bury St Edmunds. The service is open to the public and all those who would like to attend are most welcome.
