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 o...
