University of Lincoln to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day with act of remembrance
The event will take place on Monday 27th January at 7pm
The University of Lincoln will be holding an event to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day.
Led by UoL History Society, the university will be joining a nationwide act of remembrance for Holocaust Memorial Day on Monday 27th January 2025.
The evening will begin at 7pm in MB0312. It is expected to end at 8:30pm.
Holocaust Memorial Day aims to remember the victims of the Nazi’s genocide against Jewish people and other minority groups, leading up to and during the Second World War.
The mass killings perpetuated by the Nazi Party led to the deaths of one third of Jewish people as well as members of many other minority groups such as LGBTQ+ people and Romas.
The 27th January has been chosen as the international Holocaust Memorial Day, due to it being the day the Red Army liberated Auschwitz in 1945.
This year marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp, and the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia.
Holocaust Memorial Day has been a national commemoration day since 2001, supported by the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust since 2005. The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2025 is “For A Better Future“.
