Sir Keir Starmer has reiterated his commitment to ensuring all schools teach about the Holocaust, advocating for a national endeavor to educate youth on this genocide. With Holocaust Memorial Day approaching and the 80th anniversary of Auschwitz's liberation, he reflects on the importance of remembering the six million Jewish victims and acting against hatred. He warns that the lessons of the Holocaust are crucial today, emphasizing that ordinary people enabled this atrocity, underscoring a collective responsibility to confront antisemitism and other forms of hatred in modern society.
The Holocaust was a collective endeavour by thousands of ordinary people utterly consumed by the hatred of difference, that is the hatred we stand against today.
Holocaust Memorial Day remembers the six million Jews murdered during World War II and commemorates those targeted in more recent genocides, stressing the ongoing relevance of these lessons.
