ACCOUNTS of the Holocaust from 17 people will feature in a remembrance book published by a synagogue.

Members of Pinner Synagogue have come together to write, collate and create a book of personal Holocaust narratives.

Entitled Zachor, meaning remember, the book features 17 personal testimonies alongside stories from children and grandchildren for whom the Holocaust is part of their family history.

Pinner Synagogue member Leonie Lewis was part of the committee established to oversee this project.

She said: “Our community has long had a history of being at the forefront of Holocaust education and I believe this book testifies to that.

“Through this project, people’s stories have come alive and we have safeguarded these important memories and lessons for future generations, so that their legacy lives on.”

It follows the United Synagogue’s 70 Days for 70 Years project earlier this year, which marked the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz and featured 70 essays each written in memory of a Holocaust victim.

A copy of Zachor was given to each family in the Pinner community. To purchase further copies, please contact Pinner Synagogue on 020 8868 7204.
