Snowdrops will be planted in Hendon Park this Sunday as part of an ongoing project in the borough to remember the one-and-a-half million children who were killed in the Holocaust.

The planting takes place at this year's Holocaust Memorial Service at 1pm, in the memorial garden at the park on Queen's Road. The event hosts guest speaker, the Reverend Leslie Hardman, a former minister of Hendon Synagogue and the first Jewish Army chaplain to enter Bergen Belsen concentration camp on April 17, 1945, after it fell into British hands.

Councillor Peter Davis, Barnet's cabinet member for community development, said: "The Holocaust is a subject that is still relevant to all of us, regardless of our race, culture, religion or nationality, and brings home the individual responsibility that we all have to live in harmony, whatever our ethnicity, gender, religion or sexuality."

He added: "I hope Barnet residents will join us in Hendon Park to mark this occasion on Sunday."

There will be music from the Holocaust Survivor Centre's band and the London Cantorial Choir, as well as poems and songs from the children at Whitefield School and Bell Lane Primary School.

Later on in the day, at Finchley's Jewish Museum, a new film made by Dutch director Robert van Alphen, telling the extraordinary story of British citizen Leon Greenman, who survived Auschwitz and Buchenwald camps, will be screened. At 92, he is still fighting fascism in the UK today and will answer questions after the film.

The film is being shown at 80 East End Road at 5pm. Admission is £4 for adults and £3 for children. Call the museum on 020 8349 1143.

A documentary film introduced by Dr Pamela Shatzkes, a historian and lecturer, about the rescue of Jews to Japan and Shanghai during the Holocaust is on Tuesday, at 7.45pm, at 11 Spring Park Villa, Edgware. For more information contact Saul Issroff at shaul@homechoice.co.uk
