YOUNG actors will put on a show to remember victims of genocide and persecution.

Pupils from Fairlawn Primary School, Honor Oak Road, Brockley, are taking part in a theatre production to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.

The production, at Broadway Theatre, Catford, this Sunday, aims to show the human suffering caused by atrocities and genocide across the world.

Lewisham Council has formed its own Holocaust working party to organise this year's events.

Working party chairman Councillor Pauline Morrison said: "We view this day as an opportunity to unite communities against hatred and persecution."
