I dont know who needs to be reminded of the below but ...
#HMD26
Our Chief Exec @andrewcopson.bsky.social is currently attending the #HMD National Ceremony in London, and yesterday attended the UK Government's #HMD26 event in Westminster. Andrew reflects on the importance of standing together, across all religions and beliefs, in remembrance. ⬇️
Today is Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) 2026.
We are called in 2026's theme: 'Bridging Generations', to educate ourselves and never forget this repugnant part of human history.
We stand in reflection and acknowledgement: this is ALL of our responsibility.

Today is #HMD. As we remember the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis, I also remember the humanists persecuted and murdered by the Nazi regime, including those in the humanist organisations Hitler destroyed, and the leaders who were killed. #HMD26

...That is why, at sixty, and some publisher asks me for biographical details, I still carefully give the year of my birth, the name of my hometown - Gerda Mayer, born 27 in Karlsbad, Czechoslovakia.
Write to me father.'

81 years ago today, Auschwitz was liberated.
More than ever, we must remember. Remembrance is a responsibility.
On Holocaust Memorial Day, we remember the victims, honour the survivors, and reflect on what happens when good people do nothing.

TODAY is #HolocaustMemorialDay
In 2021 we recorded a commemoration remembering the Holocaust, plus genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia & Darfur & present-day oppression & #HateCrime: youtu.be/MldEW4tAWf0 [40mins inc. #BSL] #HMD #HMD26
And we see the same sort of racist hatred that enabled it, from the far right, in the United States, Ireland, and the rest of Europe.

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day.
We must never forget, especially as denial is rampant, and seems to be increasing.
We said "never again", yet more genocides have happened.
