The name of a Scot who died in the Holocaust after refusing to abandon Jewish children in her care has been added to a special memorial wall at Auschwitz.

Jane Haining, the matron of a Church boarding school, is recognised in a renewed section of the Auschwitz Birkenau Memorial and Museum's main exhibition, which is devoted to hundreds of prisoners for whom no registration photographs were taken.

We give in so many ways; from welcoming the newcomer to offering the simple things of hospitality.
We give listening ears and shoulders to cry on.
We give of our time, our talents and our treasure.
We give to those we love, to charities and good causes we value and, of course, to the Church – sometimes on the plate, sometimes with Gift Aid declarations and sometimes directly to the bank.
However, we give – whether through money, through doing things, through simply offering our time, we do as acts of generosity to give back to God something of what has been given to us. So, let’s give thanks for the gifts that have been given. Amen.
Hymn: CH4 167 - Guide Me O Thou Great Jehovah
