Coordinated by the B&NES Faith Foundation, events are expected to be held across Bath and North East Somerset, with a range of organisations involved.
The Faith Foundation, in partnership with ‘More Trees for B&NES’ and the Chair of B&NES Council, are looking for sites to plant over 80 trees.
Director of the Faith Foundation, Nathan Hartley, said: “As we approach both the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland, the largest Nazi death camp during the Second World War, our team are always looking at ways in which we can educate and share with the public just how horrific the atrocities of 21st century Europe were.
“Today, there is increasing division in communities across the UK and the world. Now more than ever, we need to stand together and in solidarity remember the atrocities of the Holocaust.”
Nathan continued: “Would you like to host a tree planting event? Are you part of a community group or local business that would like to plant trees in your outdoor space? If so, please get in touch.”
