Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) - 27th January 2008 - was the international day of remembrance of the victims of the Holocaust and other genocides.
On it, we commemorated victims, honoured survivors and committed to tackling prejudice, discrimination and racism in the present day. In hundreds of places across the UK, and in thousands around the world, people came together to honour the past and build a safer, fairer world.
The Main Commemorative Event took place on 27th January 2008 at the Liverpool Philharmonic Hall.
A programme of educational activities continues to take place across the city.
The full programme for Holocaust Memorial Day involves:
- A Schools' Programme
- A Community Programme
- A Main Commemorative Event with supporting DVD
- A Launch Event early January 2008
