Holocaust Memorial Day: Why we remember and reflect – The Yorkshire Post says
This is a poignant day that continues to grow in significance and symbolism as this region shows solidarity with all those families who have lost ancestors to genocide – and victims of more recent conflicts which remain a scar on global peace.
