Holocaust Memorial Day takes place on January 27 each year - the anniversary of the 1945 liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp.

Barry Town Hall, Hood Road Tunnel and Barry Island's Western and Eastern shelters were lit in purple, the colour of remembrance for the day.

Leader of Vale of Glamorgan Council, Cllr Neil Moore, read the Statement of Commitment at the Civic Offices. The statement vows to educate, remember and fight against discrimination. Chief executive of the council, Rob Thomas, also read the statement in Welsh.

The Council's Art Central Gallery hosted an exhibition by Polish photographer and writer, Michal Iwanowski.

After seeing a piece of graffiti on a wall in Cardiff that read ‘Go Home Polish‘ Mr Iwanowski decided to take a journey from his home in Wales to his birth home in Poland. Mr Iwanowski walked for 105 days and crossed 1,200 miles before reaching his family home in Poland.
