The theme for HMD 2020 is *Stand Together*. It explores how genocidal
regimes throughout history have deliberately fractured societies by
marginalising certain groups, and how these tactics can be challenged by
individuals standing together. Holocaust Memorial Day remembers the six
million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, alongside the millions of
other people killed under Nazi Persecution and in subsequent genocides
in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. More details:
