http://www.hmd.org.uk Holocaust Memorial Day Trust en-gb Thu, 8 Jan 2009 20:52:08 GMT The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust has launched a viral film with six episodes recreating real-life incidents of hatred – including the Stephen Lawrence murder – as scenes from a simulated computer game called “The Hate Game”. This provocative 12-minute collection, created by Knifedge, reflect HMD09’s contemporary theme, ‘Stand up to Hatred’ and the diverse communities impacted by both Nazi and contemporary hatred. The films are also being distributed to over a thousand organisers on DVD, with guidance notes. All materials are free of charge by emailing enquiries@hmd.org.uk or calling 0845 838 1883 Fri, 19 Dec 2008 09:12:00 GMT http://www.hmd.org.uk/resources/item/259/ hmd-org-uk-183 Read the current news from the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust.
