HMD Together

HMD Together

Here you will find a variety of different resources designed to enable you to mark Holocaust Memorial Day together, from home.

Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) is a time to join together with members of your community, friends, classmates, neighbours, and colleagues. We come together to learn from the Holocaust, Nazi Persecution and more recent genocides, and take steps to build a better future.

But being physically together may not always be possible.

That’s why we’ve created HMD Together. This collection of virtual resources has been specifically designed to enable you to mark HMD in meaningful ways with other people – even if you can’t gather together in person.

Explore the digital, artistic and reflective activity ideas below for inspiration for your own HMD group activity. Alternatively, visit our online map to find HMD activities happening across the UK, many of which will be online.

INSPIRE TOGETHER

Make a moving film from your home by each reading lines from a poem about the Holocaust or genocide. Alternatively, your group could put pen to paper and write your own poem, which you could then film.
