Stand up to Racism (SUTR) is holding an online event tomorrow, Tuesday 26 January, marking Holocaust Memorial Day 2021.
The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust announced that the theme for 2021 is “Be the light in the darkness” – much needed after a difficult 2020.
Please share this important event to your networks.
In the Holocaust, the Nazis murdered over 6 million Jewish people. Millions of others were killed including Roma, LGBT, black people, socialists, communists, disabled & non Jewish Polish and Russian.
The Holocaust shows the reality of fascists, with vicious racist ideas, in government.
We recently saw a now arrested Trump supporter, rioting at the US Capitol with a ‘Camp Auschwitz’ Sweatshirt. That image shocked millions and is a stark reminder that in America and much of Europe, open nazi ideology is pervasive.
The theme of #HMD2021 is ‘into the light’, very fitting in such times of COVID-19. We hope this plays a small part in bearing witness to the Holocaust and hope that you’ll be able to join us.
