Content of ceremony
The ceremony features testimonies from Holocaust survivor Mala Tribich, as well as the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of survivors from subsequent genocides in Darfur, Rwanda, Bosnia and Cambodia. Specially commissioned music, dedicated to the Roma and Sinti communities, will be played by young people from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland (Juniors) and Douglas Academy Pupils
There will also be a message from First Minister Nicola Sturgeon and Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Local Government, Aileen Campbell and Scotland’s own Rabbi Moshe Rubin will also play an important role in the ceremony.
