Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) takes place on 27 January every year  to remember the six million Jews murdered in the Holocaust, and the millions of people killed in Nazi Persecution and in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur. 27 January marks the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp.

The theme of HMD this year is ‘The Power of Words’ and all year groups attended moving assemblies presented by history teacher, Mr Reilly, which included his personal experiences of visiting Auschwitz.

There is also an HMD display in the Library with many fiction and non-fiction available to borrow.
