Mark this year ’ s Holocaust Memorial Day with a focus on ‘ one day ’

Holocaust Memorial Day takes place every year on 27 January. This year, the theme is ‘one day’. The theme, which is open to interpretation, encourages participants and events to focus on one day in history to learn more about, or one day when life changed for a Holocaust survivor. It also offers one day to set aside to remember the past and to create a world that will one day be free from fascism, genocide and the politics of hate. In the words of the organisers: “One day is just a snapshot in time and therefore cannot give the full picture, the context, the background that is needed, but it can help bring a piece of the full picture to life. “For those who suffered for days, weeks, months, years, focussing on just one day is a starting point, a way in for us to learn more about what happened during the Holocaust and the genocides that followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.” Click here to find out more about this years theme The Holocaust Memorial Trust has also produced free guides and resources to help your UNISON branch organise events and activities, including guides and advice on marking the day which are specifically tailored for trade unions and workplaces. Access a range of resources and order free activity packs No matter the scale of your event or activity, the trust would love to learn more about how your workplace or UNISON branch commemorates the day.
