Sunderland has marked the 80th anniversary of the national charity that provides social and welfare services to Holocaust refugees and survivors by planting an oak tree.
The Association of Jewish Refugees is planting 80 trees around the country.
Sunderland was chosen because it helped house Jewish refugee
children from Nazi-occupied Europe during World War Two.

Sunderland Mayor Harry Trueman said: "It is significant that the planting is taking place on Holocaust Memorial Day, when we remember the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust.
"I hope that this tree planted today will serve as a lasting reminder."
