thumb Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) (27 January) is a national commemoration day in the United Kingdom dedicated to the remembrance of those who suffered in The Holocaust, under Nazi Persecution, and in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. It was first held in January 2001 and has been on the same date every year since. The chosen date is the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz concentration camp by the Soviet Union in 1945, the date also chosen for the International Holocaust Remembrance Day and some other national Holocaust Memorial Days. In addition to the national event, there are numerous smaller memorial events around the country organised by many different organisations, groups and individuals. Over 3,600 local commemorative activities took place in the UK for Holocaust Memorial Day 2015, marking the significant 70 year anniversary. Since 2005 Holocaust Memorial Day has been promoted and supported by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, a charity set up and funded by the UK Government. The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2016 will be ‘Don’t Stand By’. The theme will ask everyone to consider their personal responsibility not to be a bystander to persecution and genocide. ==UK Event== Every year since 2001, there has been an annual national memorial to the victims of the Holocaust.
