Holocaust Memorial Day is an important opportunity for schools to reflect on the impact of prejudice, discrimination and hatred. Marked each year on the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the day encourages pupils to learn from the past and consider how we can create a more inclusive future.
