We Stand Together, Dewsbury Town Hall at 6.30pm on Tuesday 28 January 2020

With full details of the We Stand Together event by Creative Scene tonight:

Commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day with We Stand Together on Tuesday 28 January This Tuesday, join the six giant Weeping Sisters in Dewsbury for We Stand Together, a free event to remember the victims of the Holocaust and other genocides. Since December 2019, Holocaust education charity 6 Million+ has hosted creative workshops with people from Dewsbury, Batley, Bosnia, Syria and beyond to make a 12ft Weeping Sister. The group have created a Weeping Sister to represent a German mother from the 1930s. The figure is mourning the death of her disabled child, to remember that the first victims of mass murder under the Nazi regime were disabled children. This figure will be joined outside Dewsbury Town Hall by five other Weeping Sisters, which were made in previous years by community groups working with 6 million+. Following the parade of Weeping Sisters, the free event inside the town hall will begin at 7pm. Featuring moving contributions from local schools and faith and community groups, Holocaust survivor Leisel Carter will also speak about her experience.  Booking Information We Stand Together will take place outside Dewsbury Town Hall (weather permitting) at 6.30pm. Following this, the commemoration event inside Dewsbury Town Hall will begin at 7pm. We Stand Together is a free event and everyone is welcome.  Will we see you there?
