How to Take A Step for HMD 2014
‘Journeys’ is the theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2014.
On HMD 2014, we can learn how journeys themselves became part of genocide, and how the journeys undertaken were often experiences of persecution and terror for so many people who suffered in the Holocaust, under Nazi Persecution and in the subsequent genocides.
We can also learn about the life stories of journeys that brought survivors to the UK and how, in many instances, journeys of return have been part of the experience of rebuilding.
Find out more at the website of the UK HMD Trust.
