	BBC News \| TALKING POINT \| Do we need a Holocaust Memorial Day?
		I am in favour of Holocaust Memorial Day, but I think it should be renamed to encompass all forms of genocide and "ethnic cleansing" that occurred during the 20th Century.
		We shouldn't have a Holocaust Day but rather should remember the victims of all atrocities, including the Arab victims of Palestine, who were either killed or driven from their homes by the very people who claimed to have suffered in Europe.
		A memorial day is important to ensure that the likes of David Irving and Assad of Syria (who says the Holocaust is a "Jewish lie") never drown out the voices of those who died in the camps and of those who are dying elsewhere today.

	Catholics and Holocaust Memorial Day, 27 January
		Holocaust Memorial Day focuses our minds on the need to remember the tragic loss of Jewish life, when one in three Jews died worldwide, and on all who suffered and died through prejudice and tyranny.
		Holocaust Memorial Day can be a day of reflection about the meaning of life, about how human beings treat one another and about the depths to which the human spirit can sink and the height to which it can rise.
		It can be a day for all to express solidarity with different groups of people and express a hope for a different future, with a resolution to build the future in peace.

	Holocaust Memeorial Day - Glasgow
		As its focus, the day confronts and reflects upon the mass destruction of the European Jewish population and the other victim groups persecuted by the Nazis.
		But the day also recognises that the type of behaviour demonstrated in Nazi Germany was not a phenomenon limited either to Germany or to the mid-Twentieth Century.
		The Holocaust Memorial Day seeks to underscore the importance of understanding and combating the processes that lead to such tragedy.

	Holocaust Memorial Day \| www.somethingjewish.co.uk
		The purpose of Holocaust Memorial Day is to remember the Holocaust and other victims of the Nazi era in a way that alerts us to what can happen if we do not take personal and collective responsibility for tackling racism and other forms of bigotry.
		As in the case of the national event, Holocaust Memorial Day community events should look to combine both the remembrance and educational aspects of the Day -- to remember the past and to educate about its relevance today.
		The universal implications of the Holocaust make this day relevant to all people and it is a positive way to bring together individuals from all strands of the local community to stand up against discrimination, prejudice and ignorance.

	FrontPage magazine.com :: Goodbye Holocaust Memorial Day? by Carol Gould
		The Holocaust, born out of the repeated lies perpetrated by Hitler and Goebbels and reinforced by centuries of Blood Libels and slanders against Jews across the Christian world, is a defining moment in Jewish history.
		The day commemorates the innocent Jews and numerous other victims driven from their homes to extinction by a tyrant Winston Churchill had identified as the destroyer of civilisation long before anyone else had cottoned onto the true danger of the Third Reich.
		It is time for the British Muslims who generated the move to abandon Holocaust Memorial Day to apologise to Anglo Jewry, to the British and allied servicemen who fought to defeat Hitler and liberate the camps, to Holocaust survivors and to all of world Jewry.

	Leader: Holocaust Memorial Day \| Special reports \| Guardian Unlimited
		Holocaust Memorial Day, being marked tomorrow for the fifth consecutive year in this country and elsewhere, was chosen to coincide with the liberation of Auschwitz by the Red Army on January 27 1945.
		Sixty years on, Auschwitz is passing from memory into history as the number of survivors dwindle, but there is still alarming ignorance about it, especially among young people.
		The Holocaust also happened terrifyingly close to home: Parisians yesterday dedicated a memorial to the 72,000 French Jews rounded up and shipped in cattle trucks to the Polish gas chambers and crematoria; in Berlin Gerhard Schröder, Germany's chancellor, expressed shame that Hitler and his henchmen had enjoyed such wide support.

		The UK's Holocaust Memorial Day is 27 January, but it will be marked a day earlier this year as "this date falls on a Friday which has implications for a number of faiths", organisers said.

		He added: "Holocaust Memorial Day is an opportunity for all communities and faiths to learn from a salutary past and expose all forms of racism - including Islamophobia and anti-Semitism - xenophobia, discrimination and bigotry."

		During the holocaust over 100,000 disabled people were exterminated under the Nazi's policy of Eugenics and Euthanasia - the doctors and nurses trained to kill the disabled later worked in Auschwitz and other death camps.
		The disabled victims of the Holocaust are rarely mentioned in discussions of the Holocaust.
		There are still no Holocaust memorials to disabled people; and as long as disabled people, their history and their lives, are not remembered we will continue to be shut away and 'spoken for' as pitiable objects of charity; we will continue to be denied our citizenship.

		In an article in last weekend’s Sunday Times the committees were said to have been preparing to tell the government that the day does not give enough weight to the atrocities suffered by their own religion in places such as Palestine, Chechnya and Bosnia.
		The MCB caused controversy earlier this year when they boycotted the Holocaust Memorial Day commemorations, saying that the day was offensive to Muslims.
		Stressing the inclusive nature of HMD, Board chief executive Jon Benjamin said: “The truth is that Holocaust Memorial Day recognises both the enormity of the tragedy of the Holocaust against the Jews, crimes against humanity perpetrated against other groups, by the Nazis and their allies and more recently in Cambodia, Rwanda, the Balkans and elsewhere.

		In its belated observance of a first Holocaust Memorial Day in January, the British Government were at pains to acknowledge some of the other genocides of recent history - Rwanda, Cambodia, Armenia.
		It happened in the most advanced and cultured society in Europe, it required the participation of millions of people in an organised bureaucratic machine, it was pursued vigorously when it made no economic, political or military sense, and it was directed to a specific group of people identified as a 'race'.
		The Holocaust is unique because it could have been you or I as one of the millions of ordinary Germans who became the 'willing executioners', committing these atrocities or simply standing by and letting it happen.
