For 2018, the theme of Holocaust Memorial Day is going to be the 'Power of Words'.  The civic event will be held at Cambridge Guildhall on the afternoon of Sunday 28th January 2018.  Helen Weinstein, Director of Historyworks, will be leading the education sessions and delivering the civic programme.

Historyworks will be collaborating closely with the poet, Michael Rosen, our 'poet in residence' for our history and poetry projects at Historyworks.  Michael Rosen has been commissioned by Helen Weinstein of Historyworks to write a poem on the 'power of words'.  

We've recently held a KS3 workshop for 330 students who attended at Coleridge Community College to be introduced to the theme of the Holocaust and reflecting on hate crimes through poetry.  To find the resources with Michael Rosen's poems which Historyworks has recorded for our schools to use as a resourcee, you can find this group of readings on the Audioboom channel at Historyworks here:
