×Holocaust Memorial Day
Lansons Diversity Group
Holocaust Memorial Day takes place every year on Wednesday 27th January to commemorate the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, alongside the millions of other people killed under Nazi Persecution and in genocides that followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. The 27th January marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp.
This year, the Lansons Diversity Group will be hosting a very special and rare opportunity to hear from Steven Frank BEM, a survivor of the holocaust, who survived multiple concentration camps as a child.
