Holocaust Memorial Day 2024: "The Fragility of Freedom"

Mark the 80th Anniversary of the Liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau

Theme: "The Fragility of Freedom"

In 2024, we will commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration and extermination camp. The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2024 is "The Fragility of Freedom," a sobering reminder that freedom is not something to be taken for granted.

The Holocaust was a tragedy that claimed the lives of millions of people. It is important to remember this history so that we can prevent such atrocities from happening again. We must learn from the mistakes of the past and work to promote freedom, tolerance, and understanding.

On January 27, 2024, the United Kingdom will commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day. This year's theme, as chosen by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, is "The Fragility of Freedom." This theme will explore the importance of freedom and the ways in which it can be threatened.

Since 2005, Holocaust Memorial Day has been supported by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, a charity set up to promote Holocaust education and remembrance. The Trust works with schools, universities, and other organizations to raise awareness of the Holocaust and its lessons for today.

A major online ceremony will take place at 7:30pm on Saturday, January 27th, which will be streamed live on the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust website. The ceremony will feature readings, music, and speeches from survivors, world leaders, and other guests.

Holocaust Memorial Day is an important opportunity to remember the victims of the Holocaust and to recommit ourselves to fighting hatred and intolerance. We must never forget the lessons of the Holocaust and work to ensure that such atrocities never happen again.
