Read more about the work of Holocaust Memorial Day Trust here. Together we bear witness for those who endured genocide, and honour the survivors and all those whose lives were changed beyond recognition. The International Holocaust Remembrance Day, or the International Day in Memory of the Victims of the Holocaust, is an international memorial day on 27. We know they learn more, empathise more and do more. The theme reminds us of our responsibility to respond with humanity to. It highlights the humanity of the Holocaust victims and survivors, who had their homes and sense of belonging ripped from them by the perpetrators of the Holocaust. Each year across the UK, thousands of people come together to learn more about the past and take action to create a safer future. In 2023, the theme guiding the United Nations Holocaust remembrance and education is Home and Belonging. Even in the UK, prejudice and the language of hatred must be challenged by us all. Our world often feels fragile and vulnerable and we cannot be complacent. The Holocaust threatened the fabric of civilisation, and genocide must still be resisted every day.
