    PUPILS' FILM USED IN HOLOCAUST REMEMBRANCE

    South Wales Echo
    January 27, 2012 Friday
    UK

    A FILM made by school pupils will take centre stage in a ceremony
    today to remember victims of the Holocaust and other genocides since
    the end of World War II.

    Students from Maesteg Comprehensive interpreted the famous Holocaust
    poem First They Came as part of their peer mentoring project.

    It builds on the council's Speak Up Speak Out campaign which
    urges communities and individuals to express their opposition to
    discrimination.

    The ceremony will be staged in the council chamber today - Holocaust
    Memorial Day.

    A candle will be lit and a minute's silence held to remember all
    those lost in the Holocaust and in genocide in Armenia, Cambodia,
    Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.

    Council leader Councillor Mel Nott, who will speak at the event, said:
    "This is about learning lessons from the Holocaust and applying them
    to the present day."
