On 15 April 1945 the concentration camp at Bergen Belsen was liberated by the British Army; the live reports from Richard Dimbleby alerted the United Kingdom to the horrors of the camp and of the Holocaust. On 21 April we remember the events of those years, from 1938 through the Nazi’s Wannsee Conference of 1942 to the Nuremberg Trials, in music linked with the camps, in the words of survivors, in original film footage and in prayers led by Rabbis Helen Freeman and Jackie Tabick.  The Temple Singers and Choristers of the Temple Church Choir will be joined by the West London Synagogue Choir.

In collaboration with The Temple Church.

This concert is generously sponsored by a group of individuals.
