Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) takes place every year on 27 January. It is a day for everyone to remember the millions of people murdered in the Holocaust under Nazi Persecution. We have put together this list to honour those who lost their lives and to tell the stories of those who survived.

Sixteenth May is Romani Resistance Day, when we remember the rebellion of Romani prisoners in Auschwitz against their Nazi jailors in 1944. We have created a reading list celebrating and exploring Gypsy, Roma and Traveller histories.

Our reading list this January has been curated in collaboration with Hackney Museum. The museum cares for over 9,000 ​objects, artworks, images and oral history recordings, and inspires many visitors every year – from schoolchildren to celebrated authors.
