Holocaust Memorial Day, held today on 27 January 2023, is for everyone to remember the millions of people murdered in the Holocaust, under Nazi persecution, and in the genocides which followed in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.

Last week, both United and City's Under-14 groups joined together to hear from Dr Noemie Lopian, the daughter of Holocaust survivors, and Derek Niemann, the grandson of an SS officer.

Noemie and Derek shared stories from their families’ histories and talked about the perils of extremism, the importance of tolerance and the ways in which everyone can inspire greater understanding.
