HMD 2022 in Review – reflecting on the last year
Today we published ‘Holocaust Memorial Day 2022 In Review’: How did the UK mark Holocaust Memorial Day 2022? And what was the impact on those who took part?
Our world – only just emerging battered and bruised by the global pandemic – is facing a new existential challenge. A world where a sovereign nation has been invaded, civilians deliberately attacked and a people’s right to their Ukrainian identity, threatened. Our present is once again so overwhelming that it can be difficult to remember the past. So as we look back on the last 12 months, we take heart in knowing that people from right across the UK came together to mark Holocaust Memorial Day 2022.
