A message from Lynn Radnedge, who chairs Finchley's CCJ (Council of Christians and Jews) branch, for this evening's Holocaust memorial service at St Mary at Finchley...
(See also Metro coverage of Holocaust Memorial Day and one survivor's story here: "Far right rise is so shocking, says survivor of death camp")
Anyone who has ever suffered a devastating loss or tragedy in their lives often asks themselves how life can possibly go on.
Each year at this time we hear stories of unimaginable horror and loss and it's hard to imagine how millions of people then and now found the courage to carry on.
And it’s right that we keep telling the stories of those who died and the ones who survived against all the odds.
I’m so proud of the tradition we started eight years ago at this church to honour HMD with all faiths and ages.
