Holocaust Memorial Day ‘difficult’ due to Hamas-Israel conflict – charity chief
The chief executive of the Holocaust Educational Trust has said this year’s Holocaust Memorial Day will be “really difficult” against the backdrop of the Hamas-Israel conflict.
Karen Pollock said the “huge increase in antisemitism” since the October 7 attacks by Hamas on Israel means the Jewish community will mark the occasion with “heavier hearts”.
“It’s a difficult time, but that doesn’t stop us from coming together and recognising what was a seismic event in history whose repercussions are still felt today,” she added.
