Procession of Light

30/01/2025 - 30/01/2025

5:15pm - 6pm

Silberrad Student Centre

JSoc will be taking part in the annual Procession of Light in an act of rememberance for the victims of the Holocaust, and hope for the future.  

"Join us as we walk together across the Colchester campus with our lanterns, crafted by the University of Essex Origami Society or bring your own (no naked flames). The procession will stop to watch and listen to 'Even when he is silent' - a poignant and introspective choral work, inspired by a short but deeply moving text, written by a Jewish individual hiding during World War II and found scratched on the wall of a cellar in Cologne, Germany. The procession will finish with a gathering outside the Silberrad Student Centre for a moment of reflection.​"
