Your faith/interfaith group and Holocaust Memorial Day
Faith and interfaith organisations play a crucial role in fostering understanding and good relationships between different faith groups in the UK. Marking Holocaust Memorial Day is an opportunity for different faiths and the non-religious to come together to celebrate diversity in their communities, challenge prejudice and intolerance, and create a safer, better future.

Each faith has their own experiences and histories of identity-based discrimination and persecution, past and present, whether as victims, rescuers, by-standers, persecutors or a combination of these. HMD is a time to reflect on how we can come together to overcome identity-based persecution, racism and hatred and to remember those who have been victims of the Holocaust, Nazi persecution of other groups, and genocides that followed.
