Holocaust Memorial Day
International Holocaust Memorial Day is on 27th January every year. We took part in the Crocus Project this year to remember those who died in the Holocaust.
The Holocaust was the organised murder of 6,000,000 Jewish people and hundreds of thousands of other victims, by the Nazis and their collaborators.
We planted yellow Crocuses to remember one and a half million Jewish children and thousands of other children who died in the Holocaust. The yellow colour of the flowers reminds us of the yellow Stars of David that Jews were forced to wear under Nazi rule. The flowers remind us of all of the children who perished in the Holocaust.
Our Crocuses will bloom in February.
