Livingston MP Gregor Poynton signed the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Book of Commitment.Holocaust Memorial Day falls on January 27, the liberation of the infamous former Nazi concentration and death camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau.This year marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation in 1945.

Across the UK – and internationally– people will come together to remember the Holocaust.2025 is a significant anniversary year marking 80 years since the liberation of the Nazi concentration camps of Europe.

With survivors becoming older and frailer, this is likely to be the last significant anniversary at which Holocaust survivors will be present, and able to share their eye-witness testimony.

As the Holocaust moves from living memory to history, this Holocaust Memorial Day presents a key opportunity to bring the Holocaust to the fore of our national consciousness.In the lead up to and on Holocaust Memorial Day, thousands of commemorative events will be arranged by schools, faith groups and community organisations across the country, remembering all the victims of the Holocaust and subsequent genocides.
