An Ajex trip to mark the 75th anniversary of the liberation of Bergen-Belsen and a London Purim party for young professionals have been postponed over coronavirus fears.
The servicemen and women’s association had planned a one-day commemoration visit next month involving veterans, current Jewish forces personnel and Ajex supporters for a programme including a service on the Bergen-Belsen site.
An Ajex spokesman said the decision had been difficult but had been made “for the right reasons”. With the “uncertainty over flights and the number of veterans and survivors involved, it would have been irresponsible to continue”.
If the situation improved, the hope was that the commemoration visit would be rescheduled.
