The UCL Portico lit purple at night
The UCL Portico lit purple at night Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) takes place every year on 27 January. Find out about UCL events marking the day, as well as key resources, podcasts and further information. Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) is an annual, global day of observance 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. The theme for HMD 2024 is 'Fragility of Freedom' highlighting the ways in which those targeted for persecution will typically have their freedoms eroded and removed by perpetrator regimes. Freedom is fragile and vulnerable to abuse, and we cannot be complacent about it. Read more about this year's theme on the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust website.
