For commemorating genocides and marking Holocaust Memorial Day 2023 in Cambridge, there will be a series of educational events for schools and colleges working in partnership with Michael Rosen, our 'poet in residence' at HistoryWorks.   

Our civic event for the City of Cambridge is a candle-lighting ceremony which is outdoors on the steps of the Guildhall, open to the public, and everyone is very welcome to attend on the eve of Holocaust Memorial Day.  Short readings will be led by Prof Helen Weinstein & the candle-lighting by Holocaust Survivor,  Eva Clarke. Do join us:

Also, we will be marking HMD at an indoor event during Refugee Week at 4pm on Sunday 25th June 2023 with genocide survivor speakers coming to share their testimony alongside new poetry performed by Michael Rosen, when young people and community choirs are gathering together to perform Michael's song lyrics and their own poetry and dance and drama responses to HMD themes at a free civic event to which everyone in Cambridge is invited, especially inter-faith groups are warmly encouraged.  This event will include new poetry by Michael Rosen set to music by composers, Bethany Kirby and Andrea Cockerton, with large choirs including 'We Are Sound' plus singers from United Learning Community Colleges and primary choirs at St Matthew's and Milton Road Primary.
