​The National Assembly for Wales' Presiding Officer, Dame Rosemary Butler AM, and her Deputy, David Melding AM, will mark Holocaust Memorial Day at a ceremony in Cardiff on 27 January.

The ceremony will take place at Cardiff City Hall, at 11.00.

"It is essential that we should take time to remember the dreadful events that took place during the middle part of the last century," said Dame Rosemary.

"The atrocities committed by the Nazis remind us all of humanity's capacity to heap unspeakable pain and suffering upon our fellow human beings.

"In order to stop future genocides we must ensure that we remember those who perished in the camps of Germany and Eastern Europe."
