People across Bath and North East Somerset are being encouraged to remember one of the deadliest and most vicious acts in modern history ever perpetrated on the human race by lighting a candle at home on 27th January at 8pm.
Wednesday 27th January is Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) and that date in 2021 marks the 76th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland (the largest Nazi death camp) by Allied forces towards the end of the Second World War. HMD 2021 also marks the 26th anniversary of the Genocide in Bosnia.
