On the 28th January, instead of wrestling for Wagon Wheels in the Norward Hall or embarking on the long hike back to boarding house, a large congregation of Marlburians gathered outside the Bradleian arches to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.

Tiggy Brearley’s performance on the oboe was made all the more atmospheric, accompanied as it was by the bite of a winter wind. Jamie Bell sang Deep River maintaining a mournful clarity despite the unforgiving outdoor accoustics of Court.
