POETRY FOR HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY

Shrewsbury Abbey

Holocaust Memorial Day, Monday January 27, 2025 10.30 – 12.00 A recital of poems from the Holocaust and other genocides, and some poems of hope. On Holocaust Memorial Day we remember the victims of the Nazi regime from 1933 to 1945, when 6 million Jews were systematically murdered, as were thousands of disabled people, Roma people, gay men, political opponents of the Nazis, and many others. We remember that genocide did not stop in 1945, and so we also recall more recent events in Cambodia, Bosnia, and elsewhere. By hearing poems written by victims of genocide and atrocity, we can think of the individuals behind the statistics, and also try to feel hope for a better future.
