People in Gwynedd will join with thousands the world over this month to remember the innocent victims of genocides which plague modern history to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.
A service of remembrance will be held at The Cledwyn Rooms, Main Arts Building, Bangor University on Monday, 27 January 2014 to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.
Holocaust Memorial Day commemorates the loss of life by genocide during the Second World War and during later conflicts in Cambodia, Bosnia, Rwanda and Darfur.
Holocaust Memorial Day aims to motivate people to ensure that the horrendous crimes committed during the Holocaust and in more recent genocides, are neither forgotten nor repeated, whether in Europe or elsewhere in the world.
Chairman of Gwynedd Council, Councillor Huw Edwards said:
“Everyone is welcome to attend this service at TCR3, Bangor University, and join thousands of people across the world to honour the past and build a safer, fairer world.”
Professor Jerry Hunter, Pro Vice-Chancellor at the University added:
“The University is honoured to be hosting such an important event as the annual Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration.”
The service will be held at The Cledwyn Rooms, Main Arts Building, Bangor University at 10.30am on Monday 27 January 2014.
