The UCL Portico lit purple at night
The UCL Portico lit purple at night Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) takes place on 27 January - find out what UCL events are taking place to mark the day, as well as key resources, podcasts and further information. Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) is a global day of observance taking place annually on 27 January. HMD is held in remembrance of the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis during the Holocaust, alongside millions of others killed under Nazi persecution and during later genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. Inviting us to come together to remember and honour victims and survivors of genocide, HMD calls on people and governments around the world to reaffirm our commitment to preventing such atrocities from happening in the future. Held in the UK annually since 2001, HMD has a specific theme each year. The theme this year - 'Ordinary People' - aims to encourage us to consider how ordinary people, such as ourselves, play a bigger part than we might imagine in combating prejudice and creating a more just and compassionate world. To mark the day and raise awareness about the Holocaust, a range of activities are taking place at UCL.
