Holocaust Memorial Day–a conversation with Archbishop John McDowell

Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) is marked this year on Friday 27 January and has been highlighted by the Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, the Most Revd John McDowell, in a video–recorded message of support for the day, for our Jewish brothers and sisters and for others who have suffered because of acts of genocide. 

The video includes an interesting conversation between Archbishop John and Mrs Shirley Lennon, Northern Ireland Support Worker for the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust.

The Trust is encouraging people to put a candle in their window, at 4.00pm next Friday, in memory. More information on its work can be found on its website at www.hmd.org.uk
