Historyworks is designing the programme and managing Cambridge's Holocaust Memorial Day Civic Ceremony and a programme of satellite events which include screenings, panel discussions, poetry and music. This programme will be delivered on behalf of Cambridge City Council for 2018-2022. We very much welcome old and new audiences to join us for these events, and you will be able to find up to date information on these pages, and also on the HMDT listing of events for the South Eastern region, and breaking news will be findable on twitter via #HMD2018

In addition to Helen Weinstein and the team, Historyworks has a fantastic collaborator, the renowned author Michael Rosen, who is our 'poet in residence' helping support Historyworks and the young people of Cambridge for our programme for this year's Holocaust Memorial Day theme, which is on the 'Power of Words'.  Michael has been commmissioned by Historyworks to write some new poems inspired by the theme which we have arranged for voice for Cambridge's children and young people and community choirs to sing. With Michael Rosen's participation and the historians and musicians at Historyworks we will be delivering an ambitious outreach programme to introduce Holocaust education to schools in Cambridge who have not yet participated. 

HMD civic events and school workshops are delivered by Helen Weinstein and the team at Historyworks on behalf of Cambridge City Council's Holocaust Memorial Day Steering Committee.  The Musical Director for the schools programme of singing will be Mario Satchwell, our Musical Advisor will be Rowena Whitehead, our Musical Arrangers will be Bethany Kirby and Kirsty Martin, and our Choreographer will be Rebecca Powell.  To see the lyrics and melodies included in our programme for the Civic Event and suitable for Singing Assemblies in Cambridge schools, please go to:
