More than 130 people attended the Birmingham and West Midlands Yom Hashoah commemoration held at the King David School. Because of the current situation in the Ukraine, the event focused on the events of the Holocaust there including the massacre at Babi Yar, interspersed with excerpts from Shostakovich's Babi Yar Symphony. Memorial candles were lit by King David pupils and on display was a patchwork of 70 patches created by pupils in response to "70 Mitzvot for 70 years".
