This month we published the Holocaust Memorial Day 2024 Impact Report, which showcases the impact Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) 2024 had on communities across England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We also reflected on the year’s achievements at a small event with some of our stakeholders earlier this month.

Light the Darkness was marked across the UK - and beyond - for Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) on 27 January. From 8pm, iconic landmarks were lit up in purple as part of the collective commemoration.

Mala Tribich MBE was born Mala Helfgott in 1930 in Piotrkow, Poland. She was the second of three children with an older brother Ben, and a younger sister Lusia. Her early childhood was lost to the Nazi invasion of Poland in 1939. Mala and her family were forced into the Piotrkow Trybunalski ghetto – the first Nazi ghetto established in Poland. Life there was marked by overcrowding, severe malnutrition and the constant fear of deportation.
