Holocaust Memorial Day 2012
Speak Up Speak Out
The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2012 (27 January) was Speak Up, Speak Out. This theme asked us to think about the rights, responsibility and duty we all have to speak up when we see or hear something which we believe to be wrong.
We should all be challenged by the theme Speak Up, Speak Out and think about the consequences of what happens when we don’t speak up and out and what happens when we do use our voice.

Haringey Working Group
Haringey Council commemorates Holocaust Memorial Day by working with local councillors, Holocaust survivors, community religious representatives and council officers who form the Holocaust Memorial Day Working Group.
Since it was formed the Working Group has developed in partnership with Haringey Council a number of projects such as creating the Holocaust Memorial Garden of Remembrance, creating a sculpture for the garden and has brought the Anne Frank, Kindertransport and Janusz Korzak exhibitions to Haringey. In 2011 Bruce Castle Museum hosted an exhibition of paintings by Sylvia Olipitz Gaylor (Pergosh) of some local Holocaust survivors.
