Holocaust Memorial Day is the international day of remembrance for the victims of the Holocaust and of other genocides. On it, we commemorate victims, honor survivors and commit to tackling prejudice, discrimination and racism in the present day. The Holocaust that took place in Germany under Hitler during World War Two and saw the murder of 11 million people including 6 million Jews, members of the gypsy community, homosexuals and the disabled. At Morley High School we have been remembering those lot to genocide around the world and promoting the message that we must all stand up to hatred. We are holding a competition to see who can best publicize the ‘stand up to hatred’ message and the winning story, poem, poster, painting or photograph will be used around school to encourage others to make a stand against crimes of hate. Please leave your thoughts and feelings about the day below.
