Stockport marks Holocaust Memorial Day

Holocaust Memorial Day is the international day to remember the six million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, alongside the millions of other people killed under Nazi persecution of other groups and during other genocides elsewhere across the globe.

This year’s Holocaust Memorial Day marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

A private civic commemoration also took place on Sunday 26 January.
