THE Lord Mayor of Oxford will host a reflection service today to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day.

The service, led by Colin Cook, will allow members of the public, city council employees and councillors to honour survivors of the Holocaust and further genocides following World War Two.

A man who was a child rescued by the Kindertransport, Kenneth Appel, will give an account of his own experience.

The public service will be held today at noon in the St Aldate’s Room at Oxford Town Hall.
