UK’s holocaust survivors and families will be lighting 30,000 candles on Monday night to mark Holocaust Remembrance Day and the 80th anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.
The annual UK Yom HaShoah service, which remembers the six million Jews killed in The Second World War, is being livestreamed so families across the country can take part in a simultaneous lighting of yellow candles - each one marking the life of someone who died.
This year, the service, will give extra focus on those who sacrificed their lives in the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, the largest single revolt by the ghettocised Jews to fight back against their Nazi guards.
