    Tree planted in Ealing to remember Holocaust victims



    EALING Council Leader Julian Bell and Mayor of Ealing, Councillor
    Rajinder Mann, have planted a tree in front of the council's Perceval
    House offices to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust. Yesterday
    (January 27), was the 66th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz
    concentration camp in south-west Poland.

    The tree was planted in remembrance of all the victims of the Nazi
    Holocaust and all other victims of persecution and torture around the
    World, including those in Armenia, Assyria, Cambodia, Bosnia, Kosovo,
    Sri Lanka, Rwanda and Darfur.

    Councillor Julian Bell, Leader of Ealing Council, said: "Holocaust
    Memorial Day is an important opportunity for us all to think about
    what we can do in our own small way as individuals and as a community
    to protect one another against discrimination. I hope our children and
    grand children will commemorate this day for many years to come and
    continue to challenge persecution."
