Outdoor service remembers victims

Haywards Heath marked Holocaust Memorial Day last Thursday (January 27) with a special outdoor service. The event, held on the 77th anniversary of the Soviet Red Army liberating Auschwitz, was held at the War Memorial in Muster Green at 2pm. Both younger and older generations attended, including people from many different faiths, to remember the victims of the Holocaust and other genocides. Haywards Heath town mayor Howard Mundin said he was honoured to welcome everyone to the service. He thanked Amnesty International Haywards Heath, Oathall Community College, Great Walstead School, Mid Sussex Islamic Centre and Masjid, St Wilfrid’s Church in Haywards Heath, Mid Sussex District Council and Burgess Hill Town Council.
