# Holocaust Memorial Event

1 February 2017

As part of our commemorations for Holocaust Memorial Day, each form group has contributed to a display board which was presented at Chorley Town Hall as part of the borough's commemorations for Holocaust Memorial Day.

Our Head Boy Daanish and Head Girl Ellie attended a commemoration event on Saturday 21st January to present the display for a Holocaust Memorial event organised by Chorley Council with the aim of building tolerance and understanding of different faiths and cultures throughout Chorley and the wider world. This began with a service in Astley Park, followed by a gathering at the Town Hall remembering the victims of the Holocaust, alongside those who suffered from Nazi persecution and in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
