Time square will be lit in purple later this month to mark Holocaust memorial day.

On Thursday 27 January, Bracknell Forest council comes together to acknowledge the ‘one day’ in history where life changed, a ‘light in the darkness’, a beacon of hope for all.

Bracknell Forest Council have said: “We are proud of the strength and solidarity of our local communities, which is evidenced through both large and small acts of kindness. Whether that be reaching out to those who are struggling, lonely or isolated. 

“We encourage all our residents to engage, respond and where possible, to reach out and support others; to be shining lights of hope and love to all who need it during any dark and difficult times and in the future.

“Together we bear witness for those who endured genocide and honour the survivors and all those whose lives were changed beyond recognition.”
