Holocaust Memorial Day takes place every year on 27 January and is promoted by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT) to encourage remembrance in a world scarred by genocide. This international day remembers the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, alongside the millions of others people killed under Nazi Persecution and in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
