Children held a minute's silence on National Holocaust Memorial Day
SCHOOLCHILDREN took part in an assembly to mark National Holocaust Memorial Day.
Youngsters from Heronsgate Primary School, Whinchat Road, Thamesmead, were joined by Greenwich mayor Councillor Harry Singh for a minute's silence to remember Holocaust victims on January 26.
Cllr Singh said: "It's fitting schools mark this day because children represent our future.
"By reflecting on such events, we can prevent the horrors of the past being repeated in the future."
He added: "The memorial day remembers everyone who has suffered at the hands of genocide, torture and murder in both distant and recent conflicts."
