Holocaust Memorial Day allows us to reflect upon the appalling consequences of persecution. It provides the opportunity to remember and pay tribute to those who have suffered and died as a result. It also reminds us of the courage shown by the survivors of genocide and the importance of learning lessons from these tragic events.
This year’s message of Holocaust Memorial Day ‘Communities Together: Build a Bridge ’ is one we must all take to heart and act upon. Today, we can all take the opportunity to reflect upon the ways in which we live our lives and look at how we can create better, stronger communities together.
