Pictures of Sheffield people paying their respects at Holocaust Memorial Day over the years

Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD), established in 2000, is marked each year on 27th January – the anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration and death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau.

On and around this day, schools, communities and faith groups across the UK join together in national and local events to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust and of more recent genocides.

Here are some pictures of the Sheffield community coming together to honour the memorial day over the years.
