Schoolchildren created art to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day.

Pupils of Winchmore School, in Laburnum Grove, Winchmore Hill, will see their work go on display at the Dugdale Centre, in London Road, Enfield, ahead of the Holocaust Memorial Day event tonight.

The students drew inspiration from art banned by the Nazis and art created during and after the Holocaust as well as works looted by the Nazis.

Allison Grassham, a teacher at Winchmore School, said: “We feel it is important to remember our history and what happened during the Holocaust, in which millions of lives were lost.

“Holocaust survivors will not live forever and we must ‘keep the memory alive’ and never forget what atrocities people suffered and even still experience today in one form or another.”

A special memorial candle created by artist Sir Anish Kapoor will be lit at tonight's event in a ceremony marking the 70th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.
