A sculpture designed by King David Primary School in Manchester has been chosen for a national exhibition to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

KDM’s design was selected as one of the “75 Memorial Flames” in a competition run by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, which attracted 300 entries.

It will be displayed at the national Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony on Monday week.

“Flames for the Future” was designed by the school’s art co-ordinator Nikki Bourmad and made with the help of pupils.
