Holocaust Memorial Day 2024 – Fragility of Freedom

Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) takes place on 27 January each year. Fragility of Freedom is the theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2024. Freedom cannot be taken for granted.

People targeted during genocide have their freedoms removed in various ways. Freedom of religion and freedom to self-identify are restricted.

Other freedoms under threat include those of reproduction, movement and expression. Even freedom to live is at risk. False freedoms are also spread by the concealment of genocidal actions.

For HMD 2024, we should all reflect on how freedom is fragile and vulnerable to abuse. We should consider what we can do to strengthen freedoms around the world.
