A conversation with Archbishop John McDowell for Holocaust Memorial Day
Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) is marked this year on Friday, 27th January 2023, and has been highlighted by the Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland, the Most Revd John McDowell, in a video–recorded message of support for the day, and for our Jewish brothers and sisters and for others who have suffered because of acts of genocide. The video includes an interesting conversation between Archbishop John and Mrs Shirley Lennon, Northern Ireland Support Worker for the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust.
You’re welcome to watch the shorter (6–minute) and longer (12–minute) versions of this video, and to share this with others:
The Trust is encouraging people to put a candle in their window, at 4.00pm next Friday, in memory. More information on its work can be found on its website at www.hmd.org.uk
