The HMDT Next Gen Ambassador Programme is a prestigious programme by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT), designed to empower the next generation of leaders aged 18–25 to shape a future free from identity-based hatred and persecution.
‘The girl with the headscarf’ was identified by Dutch journalist Aad Wagenaar in the early 1990s as Sinti girl Anna Maria ‘Settela’ Steinbach. Here, Rainer Schulze, Professor of Modern European History at the University of Essex, shares her story.
Here in the UK, and around the world, millions of people face prejudice, discrimination and hostility simply because of their identity. Holocaust Memorial Day is a day of commemoration and action, when we challenge these attitudes and behaviours in order to build a better future together.
During this year’s Gypsy Roma Traveller History Month, historian Rainer Schulze reminds us of the systematic persecution the Roma and Sinti suffered during the period of Nazi rule in Germany and in Nazi-occupied Europe.
Hosted by HMDT and Novus, the leading prison education organisation, the event brought together distinguished guests, community representatives and educational partners, including Deputy Lieutenant of Greater Manchester Paul Griffiths DL, Esq, The Lord Mayor of Greater Manchester, Councillor Carmine Grimshaw and Holocaust survivor Anne Super.
