The ceremony in the Minster is part of events in the UK and internationally marking Holocaust Memorial Day held on January 27. This date marks the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp in 1945 which was the largest Nazi death camp. The Holocaust genocide took place during World War II in Adolf Hitler's Nazi Germany where aided by its collaborators they systematically murdered some six million European Jews. The international theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2019 is ‘Torn from Home’, which encourages people to reflect on how the enforced loss of a safe place to call home is part of the trauma faced by anyone experiencing persecution and genocide. This year also recognises the 25th anniversary of the Genocide in Rwanda, which began in April 1994 and the 40th anniversary of the end of the Genocide in Cambodia, which ended in 1979.
