Residents are invited to join the commemoration to remember everyone who has been affected by atrocities of the past – including the genocide in Bosnia 25 years ago. It will be at the Rickett Quadrangle within Middlesex University in The Burroughs, Hendon, NW4 4BT. The memorial service will begin at 2.30pm and attendees are asked to arrive and be seated by 2.15pm.

The Worshipful Mayor of Barnet, Councillor Caroline Stock, will talk about her recent visit to Nazi concentration camp Auschwitz-Birkenau. She said: “We are genuinely privileged to live in a peaceful and democratic society. I am proud to be part of our diverse and multicultural borough where our growing population live side by side. Together, we are Barnet.”

The theme for 2020 Holocaust Memorial Day is Stand Together.
