Theme Papers

Every year, a different theme is announced for Holocaust Memorial Day. This provides a focus for events and education in local and national commemorations. The resources that are produced by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust will be based on the theme for that year.

The theme for HMD09 has been announced as “Stand Up To Hatred”. You can download the theme paper here.

For HMD08, the theme was ‘Imagine…remember reflect react’.

  • HMD08 Imagine...Remember, Reflect, React

    The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2008 is 'Imagine...remember, reflect, react'. This challenges us all to imagine the unimaginable. It asks us to focus on the lives and experience of victims and survivors of the Holocaust; of Nazi persecution and of other genocides. It invites us to find new and creative ways to express this experience through art and media. It marvels at the resilience of enterprise, culture and of life itself in the face of destruction.

  • HMD09 Stand Up To Hatred

    Holocaust Memorial Day 2009 (HMD09) challenges us all to Stand Up to Hatred. It urges all of us to look at our behaviour to others; to understand how hate is directed against different minorities in Britain today; to explore how each of us can help make our communities stronger and safer. HMD09 is an opportunity to forge links across ALL the diverse strands of local community lives, to build understanding and to unite in a common cause.
