Our work is overseen by our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and a board of trustees. They are responsible for the governance and strategic vision of our work.

We promote and support Holocaust Memorial Day - the international day on 27 January - which marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp.

Holocaust Memorial Day was created on 27 January 2000, when representatives from 46 governments around the world met in Stockholm to discuss Holocaust education, remembrance and research.

Each year we organise the UK Commemorative Ceremony for Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD). This is the focal point of HMD in the UK and brings together the civic, faith and political leadership of the country, alongside survivors of the Holocaust and more recent genocides.
