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.
