On 28/29 January Lewisham commemorated Holocaust Memorial weekend. On the 28th January a multi faith service took place at The Catford and Bromley Synagogue. With participants from various faith leaders across the borough and a moving drama performance from Bonus Pastor School. The theme this year was “Speak Up, Speak Out” and people who have been brave enough to do this were remembered through readings such as Nelson Mandela, Martin Luther King, Pastor Martin Niemoller, Peneltrium (from Poland), Janus Ckorezak On Sunday 29 January, Lewisham primary schools , including St William of York school, gave a very moving performance in the Broadway Theatre which was attended by 500 people. They did not shy away from the difficult subject but managed to make it a spiritually uplifting experience. As Chair of the Holocaust Memorial Committee, I would urge to look out for these free events next year.
