Never again.

That was the promise the world made after the horror of the Holocaust was unveiled.

The promise we would not let the appalling suffering experienced by Jewish people be repeated.

#HolocaustMemorialDay
But even after the murder of six million Jews in Europe, genocides and persecution still take place around the world.

And as the Holocaust recedes from living memory, it is more important than ever that we remember on Holocaust Memorial Day.
This year the theme is ‘be the light in the darkness’.

The world has experienced a lot of darkness in 2020 – but we have also seen many examples of light.

Neighbours caring for one another, communities coming together, people making sacrifices to protect the vulnerable.
It takes more than words for good to triumph over evil, knowledge over ignorance and love over hate: it takes action. This year should give us hope.

Let's all recommit to being a force for good in the world, to work to prevent future atrocities and be the light in the darkness.
