The JRC were honoured to stand with Mayor Andy Burnham and communities across Greater Manchester at the Greater Manchester Combined Authority Holocaust Memorial Day service.

We heard the deeply moving testimony of Holocaust Survivor and Fed MyVoice storyteller, Anne Super who shared how she escaped the Nazis as a child.

JRC Board Member, Rabbi Daniel Walker spoke with courage and hope about surviving the recent terrorist attack at Heaton Park Synagogue – reminding us that we all have the power to choose good over evil.

Mayor, Andy Burnham reaffirmed his commitment to standing firmly against anti-Jewish racism, invoking the words of the late Mancunian Holocaust survivor Ike Alterman BEM, who taught us that “hate is a disease.”

Also representing the JRC were Vice Chair, Bernie Yaffe, who lit one of the candles and Board Members, Raphi Bloom and Amanda Bomsztyk.
