Holocaust Memorial Day is marked on 27 January.
This year’s theme is : For a Better Future.

This Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of
Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp complex, and the 30th
anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia.
80 years on from the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, antisemitism (anti-Jewish hatred)
has increased significantly in the UK and globally following the 7 October attacks in Israel
by Hamas and the subsequent war in Gaza. Extremists are exploiting the situation to stir up
anti-Muslim hatred in the UK. Many UK communities are feeling vulnerable, with hostility and
suspicion of others rising. We hope that HMD 2025 can be an opportunity for people to come
together, learn both from and about the past, and take actions to make a better future for all.
