will be encouraged to remember the past, reflect on the present and
react to create a better future.
Guests of honour include Major Richard Williams, who helped liberate
Belsen concentration camp at the end of World War II, and the
Ambassador of Armenia, His Excellency Dr Vahe Gabrielyan.
The free event will see live performances from,The Alyth Youth Singers

survival story of Rene Braun, the husband of the Mayor of Barnet,
Councillor Maureen Braun.
Mrs Braun said: "It is now nearly 63 years since the end of World War
II but events elsewhere in the world today in 2008 show that sadly we
have not learnt the lessons of the past. I invite residents to attend
the Holocaust Memorial Service to reflect with me on the horrors of
the last century and look forward with hope for the future."

Commitment to honour those killed in the Holocaust and individuals
that risked their lives to help those being persecuted.
The Book has been placed in the House of Commons for Members of
Parliament nationwide to sign.

of us to learn from the lessons of the Holocaust. We must not only
reflect on the horrors of the Holocaust and remember all the victims
killed and persecuted by the Nazis but also to challenge all types
of prejudice and discrimination which continue in our society today."
