To mark the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz Concentration Camp, Northampton Borough Council has organised a short flower laying ceremony at the Holocaust Memorial Stone at the Guildhall.
The ceremony will take place on Holocaust Memorial Day, this Wednesday (27 January), at 11am. People from around Northampton are welcome to join councillors and community groups to spare a moment and think about those who were sadly killed during the Second World War and in other genocides.
On the same evening at 6.30pm there is a special memorial event being held in The Great Hall in the Guildhall. There will be a number of speakers and performances, including contributions by children and young people from Unity College and Thorplands Primary School.
