Holocaust Memorial Day

The Mayor was privileged to attend Holocaust Memorial Day at Newham town hall on 27 January 2012.

He said: "We must use the Games to bring together people of all cultures, creeds and ethnicities. In doing so we will build resilience through respect for difference and a shared sense of belonging."
