Holocaust Memorial Day

Deputy Presiding Officer, Rosemary Butler, will stand side-by-side with people from all walks of life in Cardiff to mark Holocaust Memorial Day tomorrow(January 27).

She will lay a wreath, on behalf of the National Assembly for Wales, as part of an official ceremony at City Hall in Cardiff.

“Whether it be the death camps of Eastern Europe during the Second World War or the killing fields of Rwanda at the end of the last century, this day serves to remind us all of Man’s capacity to heap unspeakable pain and suffering upon his fellow man,” says the Deputy Presiding Officer.

“That’s why this day, of all days, must be etched in all our diaries and on all our calendars.

“It’s a day when we must all come together and say that it must never happen again.”

The Deputy Presiding Officer will also give a short reading at the ceremony which takes place at Cardiff’s City Hall at Noon.
