Leon Greenman Appeal

The Ilford Recorder has finally reached its target of £3800 for the Leon Greenman Appeal, which was initiated to remember the life of a true Redbridge Hero who made a vow to ensure people would reflect on the horrors of the Nazi Holocaust through his sharing of his experience - with belief that he could prevent such an atrocity happening again. Leon Greenman showed great strength to survive and to return to the UK after the holocaust where he resided in Redbridge. Learn more here and here.

We are particularly pleased with this result as Redbridge Carnival Association donated £150.00 towards the scheme. The Ilford recorder led campaign will eventually see the monument introduced to the Holcaust Memorial Garden in Valentines Park
