Holocaust lecture at northwood synagogue

THE chairman of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust will be speaking at a Northwood synagogue as part of a commemoration.

On June 6 Northwood and Pinner Liberal Synagogue, in Oaklands Gate, Northwood, will be commemorating the lives of the Jews of Kolin and the legacy of the Torah Scroll that now resides in the Holy Ark in Northwood - now the last Jewish survivor of Kolin.

To mark this occasion, Dr Stephen Smith MBE, the co-founder and director of the Holocaust Centre and chairman of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, will be speaking on the subject: "Memory in the future in the absence of survivors."

Senior Rabbi, Aaron Goldstein said: "We want to welcome local residents to appreciate the legacy of the Holocaust that is present in Northwood.
"It is important to us that our young people and our neighbours understand the opportunity of this legacy, to provide hope in the future, that genocide will be eradicated from the world and any form of hatred is never allowed to develop in our local Community."

The lecture will start at 10am.For more information go to www.npls.org.uk, email admin@npls.org.uk or call 01923 822592.
