Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) is the international day of remembrance for the victims of the Holocaust and of other Genocides around the world, throughout the ages. On HMD we commemorate victims, honour survivors and commit to tackling prejudice, discrimination and racism in the present day. We encourage nations to conquer genocide and individuals to stand up against hatred.
HMD is marked each year on 27th January
- the anniversary of the Liberation of nazi death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau.
HMD sets out to motivate people to make sure that the horrendous crimes committed during the Holocaust, -before and since are neither forgotten nor repeated.
27th January 2010 – Holocaust Memorial Day – marks the 65th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau. On this day, the Holocaust Memorial Trust challenges everyone across the U.K. to become a part of a Legacy of Hope. Every year, on 27th January, we pause to reflect on what can happen when prejudice, racism and exclusionary behaviour are left unchecked.
In 2005, the United Nations officially declared 27th January as Holocaust Memorial Day worldwide and we invite you to commemorate the day with us in 2010.
