Holocaust Memorial Day 2025

The Higgins Bedford

The Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) on January 27th marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp complex, and the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia.

This FREE display will be available for viewing in The Higgins Bedford reception area and will include information about the events surrounding the systematic, targeted persecution of the Jewish community during the Second World War.

The Higgins Bedford are also inviting some local schools and home educated children to attend a talk on the subject.

HMD 2025 is an opportunity to come together, learn from and about the past, and take action to make a better future. The display about the HMD 2025 anniversaries will share responses from our local community.
