This week, Stephen pledged his commitment to Holocaust Memorial Day by signing the Holocaust Educational Trust’s Book of Commitment.
The 27 January marks Holocaust Memorial Day as the anniversary of the liberation of the infamous former Nazi concentration and death camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau, in 1945. In the lead up to Holocaust Memorial Day, thousands of commemorative events have been arranged by schools, faith groups and community organisations across the country, remembering the victims of the Holocaust and subsequent genocides. The theme for this year’s commemorations is ‘Ordinary People’.
After signing the book, Stephen said “Holocaust Memorial Day is an important opportunity to honour those who were murdered during the Holocaust, as well as paying tribute to the extraordinary survivors who work tirelessly to educate young people today.”
