Holocaust Memorial Day

 

                                                   Library display for Holocaust Memorial Day


Every year on 27th January the world remembers all those murdered in the Holocaust and in the genocides that have taken place in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.

This year the theme is 'Ordinary people'.

Ordinary people. 

Ordinary people who are the persecuted.

Ordinary people who are the victims.

Ordinary people who are the perpetrators.

Ordinary people who are the rescuers.

Ordinary people who are the bystanders.

Ordinary people, like you and me. We need to remember and to challenge prejudice and to stand up to hatred.

"We are all ordinary people today who can be extraordinary in our actions." HMD website, HMD for more information.
