Holocaust Memorial Day Trust

Our Memory Makers project for Holocaust Memorial Day 2015 pairs Holocaust and genocide survivors with nine British artists, who will respond to their stories with works of art for Holocaust Memorial Day 2015.  Memory Makers ensures that survivors’ experiences are not lost to history, and that a new generation can engage with the stories of genocide. We are asking you to play your part by sharing these powerful stories of survivors.

27 January is Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD). A day for everyone to remember the millions of people murdered in the Holocaust, under Nazi Persecution and in the subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. On HMD we honour the survivors of these regimes and challenge ourselves to use the lessons of their experience to inform our lives today.
