Global events mark International Holocaust Memorial Day tomorrow. The United Nations will call on member states to honour the six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust, other victims of genocide and to develop educational programs to help prevent future genocides. HMD takes place on the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. President Isaac Herzog delivers the main IHMD address at the European Parliament today during a two-day visit to Belgium.

I am sure that my meetings with the King and government officials will act as a catalyst for many collaborations. The rest of the visit, to the European Union, has special significance. Israel’s relationship with the nations of Europe and institutions of the European Union have an impact on almost every area of our lives as a people and as a state. My visit and meetings bring
together the lessons of the past and vision of a promising future between Israel and the nations of Europe.” The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust organises the UK event. The theme for HMD 2023 is ‘ordinary people’. Commemoration events have taken place this week at local continued on page 2
