Order candles, stickers, flyers and pin badges to use in your Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) activity.

In 2015, inmates at HMP Magilligan created a Holocaust Memorial Day exhibition where members of the local community in Limavady, Northern Ireland, could learn about the Holocaust and more recent genocides. Each year, for HMD, inmates give tours of the exhibition to local children.

It Began with Words explores how the Holocaust began not with violence, but with words, with stereotypes, prejudice and silence. Through survivor testimony and historical insight, it shows how ordinary people and everyday choices allowed hatred to grow. By understanding how the Holocaust unfolded, we can recognise the warning signs of prejudice today and use our voices to stand against it.
