Horsham lights up The Capitol Theatre to mark Holocaust Memorial Day

Each year iconic buildings and landmarks are illuminated during this moment of commemoration and solidarity remembering those who were murdered for who they were and to stand against prejudice and hatred today.

Horsham District Council supports international Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27 – the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau – and remembers the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, alongside the millions of other people killed under Nazi persecution and during more recent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
