University Chaplaincy – Monday 27 to Friday 31 January 2025


[https://universityofstrathclyde.newsweaver.com/v3files/shard1/85313/bf/79a37f543aa843d1569d57.jpg]This coming Monday (27 January) marks Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD), an international day to remember the six million Jews murdered during the Second World War, alongside the millions of people murdered under Nazi persecution of other groups.



The theme this year is ‘For a Better Future’ and 2025 also marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp complex, and the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia.



In commemoration of HMD, the University’s Chaplaincy and Access, Equality and Inclusion team will be hosting a Reflection Wall, a quiet space for contemplation and remembrance, where you can pay tribute to the lives lost during the Holocaust and reflect on its significance today.
