For #hmd2022 Mr Hannigan and his S3 history students created this fantastic display to remember, commemorate and educate about the Holocaust and genocide in the past and present. "One day there will be no genocide" #HolocaustMemorialDay @FrankHannigan5 @HMD_UK @HolocaustUK

Today is Holocaust Memorial Day. We remember the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered by the Nazis and their collaborators, all victims of Nazi persecution and the victims of subsequent genocides. #HMD2022 #HolocaustMemorialDay

One day there will be no more genocide. #HolocaustMemorialDay #LightTheDarkness #HMD2022 @Dumbarton_Acad @DAHumanities @DumbartonRME

Look out for the @RoyalMail #HolocaustMemorialDay postmark which will appear on stamped mail in the lead up to #HMD2022 and tweet us a photo if you spot it!
