We were joined by over 400 people as we launched brand new resources to support people across the UK to mark Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) 2024.

This resource is designed for Scottish secondary schools to mark HMD while supporting and complementing Burns Night celebrations. Read the story of Henry Wuga MBE who was born in Germany in 1924 and escaped the Holocaust by coming to Scotland on the Kindertransport. He made a home in Scotland and developed a love for Scotland's national bard Robert Burns.

Henry Wuga MBE came to Glasgow on the Kindertransport, was evacuated, then interned. He settled and married in Glasgow to a fellow Kindertransportee, gave back to the community and educated thousands on the Holocaust.

This resource supports secondary school teachers to use the new interactive Holocaust education website Ordinary Objects Extraordinary Journeys in the classroom.

Take a look at the main civic events in the UK’s devolved nations for HMD 2013.
