A FILM made by school pupils will take centre stage in a ceremony
today to remember victims of the Holocaust and other genocides since
the end of World War II.
Students from Maesteg Comprehensive interpreted the famous Holocaust
poem First They Came as part of their peer mentoring project.
It builds on the council's Speak Up Speak Out campaign which
urges communities and individuals to express their opposition to
discrimination.
The ceremony will be staged in the council chamber today - Holocaust
Memorial Day.
A candle will be lit and a minute's silence held to remember all
those lost in the Holocaust and in genocide in Armenia, Cambodia,
Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
Council leader Councillor Mel Nott, who will speak at the event, said:
"This is about learning lessons from the Holocaust and applying them
to the present day."
