The Mayor of Cheshire East, Councillor Rod Fletcher, invites everyone to join him at the Council’s annual Holocaust Memorial Day Service at Macclesfield Town Hall at 11.00am on Friday 26 January 2024. The Service should last for about an hour.
The guest speaker is Mr Ernie Hunter from the Northern Holocaust Education Group (NHEG), who will recount the story of his mother, Fanny Höchstetter, and how long-standing, friendly, Christian – Jewish relationships in the small German market town of Laupheim, were destroyed by the Nazis.
NHEG was founded in recognition that the first generation of Holocaust survivors will not be able to continue to tell their stories for ever. Their aim is to ensure that future generations can continue to experience these life stories of victims of Nazi persecution and the Holocaust, in a way that is both meaningful and relevant to the issues of today. NHEG hopes these stories will spark and inspire members of the audience to stand up against hatred, discrimination and persecution of any kind.
