Holocaust Memorial Day 2013

'Communities together: Build a Bridge' is the theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2013. 

Since 2001 in the UK the 27th January each year is designated as a day to learn lessons from genocides, with the aim of creating a better future and challenge hatred and persecution in the UK today.

The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust chose 27 January because it is the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau on 27 January 1945. Has humanity learned the lessons from the genocides of Nazi persecution? It seems not: consider Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, Darfur and many more tragic destruction and persecution of communities of people.

Remembering is important, but it is not enough.

What can any of us do to prevent repetition? Take a look at this video 'Lessons Learnt?'
