To mark Holocaust Memorial Day 2023 in Scotland, we partnered with Edinburgh Interfaith Association to produced this short film. The film is dedicated to those who lost their lives in the Holocaust, the Nazi persecution of other groups, and in more recent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur, and is suitable for schools, families and communities to watch as part of a Holocaust Memorial Day activity.
People came together across the UK to mark Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) 2024, culminating in the streaming of curated moments from the HMD 2024 UK Ceremony and the Light the Darkness national moment. Here we highlight just some of the ways Holocaust Memorial Day was marked this year.

Marianne Grant was a young artist from Prague. Having survived Theresienstadt, Auschwitz-Birkenau, and the final days of Bergen-Belsen concentration camps, using her skills as an artist to survive, she came to Glasgow where she raised her family.
Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) offers museums, galleries and heritage sites the opportunity to bring their communities together to reflect on lessons from the past and remember the 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, and millions more people murdered through the Nazi persecution of other groups and in the more recent genocides recognised by the UK government. We also mark the genocide in Darfur.
