Holocaust Memorial Day

The HMD education website contains free resources for schools and colleges.  Each year there is a new theme for HMD and the resources are updated to reflect this.  There are case studies, lesson plans covering all age groups and a wide variety of curriculum areas, assemblies, activities and ideas for discussion.  The resources are written as a guide for teachers but GCSE and Post 16 students should also find them helpful.  http://education.hmd.org.uk

HMD also has a main website which contains a variety of resources on the Holocaust and more recent genocides, including survivor stories, podcasts, our short films, poetry, images and documents.  A popular area of the site is our book group section, where we suggest titles and offer questions for discussion for members of school and community reading groups  http://www.hmd.org.uk

Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) takes place annually on the 27th January, the date of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau - the largest Nazi Concentration Camp.  On this day, the victims and survivors of the Holocaust and Nazi persecution are remembered and honoured as well as those from subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and during the ongoing atrocities in Darfur.
