Candle Lit in Wembley to Honour Holocaust Victims

At our Scheme in Wembley, The Martins, Housing Manager Rakesh marked Yom HaShoah—the Jewish day of remembrance for those who died in the Holocaust—by lighting a yellow memorial candle for Klara and all those that perished.

Traditionally, candles are lit in Jewish homes on this day. In Israel, a nationwide siren sounds, and people pause wherever they are to observe two minutes of silent reflection in memory of the victims.
