Painful. Reflective. Informative. Important.
Holocaust Remembrance Day marked by a beautifully organised event I was delighted to have been asked to attended.
I saw lovely Myla Arceno (former Mayor of Stevenage) alongside many other familiar faces not least Stevenage Mayor, Nazmin Chowdhury who spoke eloquently and passionately as did every speaker on the night including Debra Barnes, daughter of a holocaust survivor and author of ‘The Young Survivors’. A book I have this minute ordered.
Kevin Bonavia for Stevenage also spoke with passion and conviction.
The student Rabbi was also quite charming and offered up prayer.
Sorry my earlier video took nearly 2 hours to post but I recorded it before I left and I had to turn my phone off in Chambers. Obvs.
