Tree planted in Ealing to remember Holocaust victims



EALING Council Leader Julian Bell and Mayor of Ealing, Councillor
Rajinder Mann, have planted a tree in front of the council's Perceval
House offices to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust. Yesterday
(January 27), was the 66th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz
concentration camp in south-west Poland.

The tree was planted in remembrance of all the victims of the Nazi
Holocaust and all other victims of persecution and torture around the
World, including those in Armenia, Assyria, Cambodia, Bosnia, Kosovo,
Sri Lanka, Rwanda and Darfur.

Councillor Julian Bell, Leader of Ealing Council, said: "Holocaust
Memorial Day is an important opportunity for us all to think about
what we can do in our own small way as individuals and as a community
to protect one another against discrimination. I hope our children and
grand children will commemorate this day for many years to come and
continue to challenge persecution."
