Council marks Holocaust Memorial Day at head office
Holocaust Memorial Day has been marked at Three Rivers District Council’s head office in Rickmansworth to remember those who died in the Holocaust and subsequent genocides.

The day also commemorates genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
