Holocaust Memorial Day in the UK has been marked by a somber tone as charities report a 'huge rise' in antisemitic incidents, which have surged by 104% in 2023. The Holocaust Educational Trust's chief executive highlighted that this year's Holocaust Memorial Day is 'really difficult' due to the increase in antisemitism, which has been linked to the recent Hamas-Israel conflict. Services across the Midlands have been particularly affected, with the day of remembrance being described as 'very difficult'. This year also coincides with the 78th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz concentration camp.
