BE THE LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS – HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY
27th January marks Holocaust Memorial Day
The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT) encourages remembrance in a world scarred by genocide (mass murder of a particular group of people). They promote and support Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) – the international day on 27 January to remember the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, alongside the millions of other people killed under Nazi Persecution and in genocides that followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) 2021 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 that darkness to ‘be the light’ before, during and after genocide.

Holocaust Memorial Day 2021
Holocaust Memorial Day takes place on 27th January each year. This is a time to remember the millions of people murdered during the Holocaust, under Nazi Persecution and in the genocides which followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
Holocaust Memorial Day is a time when we seek to learn the lessons of the past and recognise that genocide does not just take place on its own – it’s a steady process which can begin if discrimination, racism and hatred are not checked and prevented.
Scotland’s Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) Ceremony 2021 has been organised as a virtual ceremony. The ceremony will be premiered online at 2pm on 27 January 2021. The ceremony features testimonies from Holocaust survivor Mala Tribich, as well as the children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren of survivors from subsequent genocides in Darfur, Rwanda, Bosnia and Cambodia. You can watch the Ceremony on YouTube or Vimeo:
