Holocaust Memorial Day: Bury St Edmunds remembers on 80th anniversary of Auschwitz liberation




Hundreds of people from Bury St Edmunds and across West Suffolk gathered at the historic Abbey Gardens today for Holocaust Memorial Day, 80 years since the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

The ceremony saw speeches from councillors and community and religous leaders of different faiths.

The event was a chance to remember those who have died in genocides not only in World War Two, but from across the world.
