This year marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, which was the largest Nazi concentration camp, and the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia.
Sandwell Council set a theme for the memorial day, ‘For a Better Future’, saying it hopes to 'encourage us to explore the various ways we can all contribute to creating a more positive future by challenging prejudice'.
The hope is to create an opportunity for people to 'come together, learn about the past and more recent injustices, and act towards building a better future for us all'.
Mindu Hornick, who was awarded an MBE for her services to Holocaust education, spoke at the service held at Memorial Gardens, Highfields House about her life as an Auschwitz and Holocaust survivor.
