Holocaust Memorial Day Island Life Special
Manx Radio's Island Life Series - Specials
Tuesday, 4 February 2025 - 27 minutes
This Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD), January 27th, marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp complex. The theme this year is 'For a Better Future', with organisers saying it's an opportunity for people to come together, learn both from and about the past, and take actions to make a better future for all. In this special Island Life, we take the time to pause and remember them. We hear from holocaust survivors, and Siobhán Fletcher speaks to the Deputy Director and Head of Research at London's Wiener Holocaust Library, Dr Christine Schmidt.
