General debate on Holocaust Memorial Day 2021
Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) has taken place in the UK on 27 January since 2001.
Each year, the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust chooses a different theme to enable audiences on Holocaust Memorial Day to learn something new about the past. Every theme is relevant to the Holocaust, Nazi Persecution and to each subsequent genocide.
This year’s theme is "Be the Light in the Darkness". It encourages everyone to reflect on the depths humanity can sink to, but also the ways individuals and communities resisted the darkness to 'be the light' before, during, and after genocide.
