What is Holocaust Memorial Day?

Holocaust Memorial Day is the international day of remembrance for the victims of the Holocaust and of other genocides.


“Holocaust Memorial Day is a chance for people to join together in remembrance. It is relevant to everyone and I look forward to welcoming you to the event. As well as remembrance the day is about looking forward and trying to create a better, safer future for us all. The untold stories of victims and survivors can help us to think about ways we can work together as communities to respect and celebrate differences between us” - The Lord Mayor of Leeds, Councillor James McKenna
