On Holocaust Memorial Day (27th January 2010), pupils from Knox Academy and other schools in the East Lothian area took part in The Legacy of Hope at the Brunton Theatre, Musselburgh at 7 pm.

The event, which was being held on the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, was an opportunity for young people in Scotland to look at the theme of what is 'The Legacy of Hope'.

It was a time to reflect on The Holocaust and ongoing human rights atrocities around the world.
