Join the nation on Saturday 27 January at 8pm to watch the ‘HMD 2024 UK Ceremony: Curated Moments’.
‘Curated Moments‘ is taken from the UK Holocaust Memorial Day Ceremony earlier in the week. It is vital that the entire nation can come together to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day and to learn from genocide and build a better, safer future together.
The Curated Moments will be streamed here: hmd.org.uk/ukhmd
Directly after the Curated Moments have finished at 8pm, people are asked to display lit candles safely in their windows to Light the Darkness to remember those who were murdered for who they were and to stand against prejudice and identity-based persecution in the world today.
About Holocaust Memorial Day
Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) takes place on 27 January each year and is a time to remember the millions of people murdered during the Holocaust, under Nazi Persecution and in the genocides which followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
Holocaust Memorial Day is a time when we seek to learn the lessons of the past and recognise that genocide does not just take place on its own – it’s a steady process which can begin if discrimination, racism and hatred are not checked and prevented. We’re fortunate here in the UK; we are not at immediate risk of genocide. However, discrimination has not ended, nor has the use of the language of hatred or exclusion. There is still much to do to create a safer future and HMD is an opportunity to start this process.
