Holocaust Memorial Day is held on 27 January each year. It is the anniversary of the liberation of the Nazi concentration and extermination camp, Auschwitz-Birkenau – seen as a powerful symbol of the horrors of the Holocaust.

The date (27 January) has been chosen by the governments of a number of European countries, including Sweden, Italy, Germany, Finland, Denmark and Estonia, to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust.

Holocaust Memorial Day is distinct from Yom HaShoah, the Jewish day of remembrance for the Jewish victims of the Nazis that falls in late April.
