What's on in Thurrock

Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) is dedicated to the remembrance of those who suffered in The Holocaust, under Nazi persecution, and in subsequent genocides. It was first held in January 2001 and has been on the same date every year since. The chosen date is the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp in 1945.

Each year, a memorial service is held in the Herbert E. Brooks Memorial Rest Garden, at High View Avenue, Grays to remember the horrors of genocide, and to reflect on our will to build peaceful communities for the future. Find the Memorial Gardens on Google Maps.

The memorial service in Thurrock takes place at 11am on Monday 27 January.
