Today is Holocaust Memorial Day, the annual remembrance of the six million Jews, Roma, Trade Unionists, LGBT+ and disabled people murdered by the Nazis and the genocides that followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.

With each passing year, the Holocaust fades from living memory and it is so important that we educate ourselves and our children of the industrialised mass murder committed in the name of ideology. Particularly as modern genocides continue to unfold, such as the Uyghurs in China.
The theme for this year's Holocaust Memorial Day is One Day. You can find out more about this year’s theme here hmd.org.uk/what-is-holoca…
We can all take One Day to reflect on how genocide is allowed to happen and what we can do to stop it. When we look back on our actions as a nation we proudly recall the children of the kindertransport, but we mustn't forget refusing to allow their parents to come with them.
You can find out more about Holocaust Memorial Day and watch the annual service live from 18.45 here hmd.org.uk/ceremony
