Holocaust Memorial Day Friday 27th January was Holocaust Memorial Day. Holocaust Memorial Day
is about commemorating all the communities who suffered as a result of
the Holocaust and Nazi persecution, and demonstrating that the Holocaust
is relevant to everyone in the UK today. It also provides a focus - through
national and local events and activities - for people to think about the
continuing repercussions of the Holocaust on our society and those still
living with its consequences. In recognition of HMD and also the wider LGBT History Month, NLGBA is
proud to recognise the experiences of Lesbians & Gay Men during the
Holocaust. An exhibition documenting the Nazi persecution of Gays and
Lesbians including some survivor stories and photographs is on show at
NLGBA offices during February. The exhibition is at NLGBA and will be
open to public view Tuesday - Thursday 12 – 4pm until 28.02.06 or
at other times by arrangement. There are also a number of additional events taking place around the county, a full programme of which can be viewed here. It is recommended to contact venues prior to attendance at several of these events as booking may be required.
