Quakers mark Holocaust Memorial Day
Friends gathered to mark Holocaust Memorial Day on 27 January
Quakers around the country gathered for Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD), which for 2019 had the theme ‘Torn from home’.
Friends took the opportunity on 27 January to pay respect to those lost in genocide and war.
