Holocaust Memorial Day 2020

Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) takes place every year on 27 January, and is the international day to remember those murdered in the Holocaust, under Nazi persecution and in the genocides that followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.

It is promoted and supported by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT), the national charity which encourages remembrance in a world scarred by genocide.

HMD is marked in communities across the UK who come together to learn, reflect and take action for a safer future. Faith groups are a huge part of this, and HMDT provides support and resources to help churches mark HMD with their parishes.

For HMD 2021, the theme is “Be the light in the darkness” – a call to action which resonates with people of all faiths and none. Resources include prayers, liturgical resources, films, life stories and much more. For more information, visit the Holocaust Memorial Day website.
