Reading of Names

Each year on Holocaust Memorial Day we come together to remember the victims of the Holocaust and other genocides with the Reading of Names.

This year, the Reading of Names will take place the day before Holocaust Memorial Day, on Friday 26 January,

We ask our University community to take part in this act of remembrance, reading names in-person from 10.50am-11.10am,  11.50am-12.10pm, 12.50pm-1.10pm and 1.50pm-2.10pm. The spirit of this act of remembrance is perhaps best expressed by David Berger, who at the age of 19 was shot dead in Vilnius, Lithuania in 1941. David said 'If something happens, I would want there to be somebody who would remember that someone named D. Berger had once lived. This will make things easier for me in the difficult moments'. 

Please email Holly Ward in the Events Team if you would like to take part in the Reading of Names.
