School Captains – Etty, Tsiona, Erin, Mazvita and Toby – did an exceptional job representing Oathall Community College at Haywards Heath’s Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) commemoration earlier today at the Town Hall.
They stood and read clearly and compassionately in front of a full room of attendees which included local dignitaries, as well as teachers and students from other local schools.
The theme of the service was Bridging Generations – and representatives of a number of different faiths spoke eloquently about what HMD means for their followers and communities. Attendees also had the opportunity to lay wreaths and stones as a symbol of remembrance.
This event is a key part of the week in which Oathall staff and students remember the estimated six million Jews that were murdered at concentration and death camps across German-occupied Europe.
