Monday 27th January marks the 80th anniversary of the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest of the Nazi death camps.
Events are taking place across Scotland, the UK and worldwide to remember the six million Jewish men, women and children who were murdered in the Holocaust, other victims of Nazi persecution and those who died in subsequent genocides.
Increasing education and awareness about the danger of discrimination and preventing the spread of hatred is a key objective of the activity.
The UK Government is committed to supporting all communities so they can live and worship safely – and through the Plan for Change will deliver a decade of national renewal, providing opportunity for all.
