Imagine waking up to find that the neighbours you have known all your life and even sat next
to at school, now walk past you without stopping, now forbid their children from playing with
yours, now spit at you and even attack you.
Imagine having nowhere to turn, that the walls are closing in and that there is no escape.
Imagine that you have done nothing wrong, yet you are to be punished nonetheless and no
one will stand by you.
On Holocaust Memorial Day, 27 January, we’re asking you to remember and stand by those
who were forced to live through these experiences. We want you to honour those communities
which were destroyed in the Holocaust, under Nazi Persecution and in subsequent genocides
in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
