Superintendent Nicholas Dias of Sussex Police and Cllrs Amanda Grimshaw and Steph Powell representing Brighton and Hove City Council all give their very personal tributes and views.

Brighton and Hove City Council said it was supporting the Brighton & Hove Holocaust Education Project in commemorating this year’s event.

Councillor Steph Powell, joint chair of the Tourism, Equalities, Communities & Culture Committee, said: “On Holocaust Memorial Day, we stand with our communities to remember the 6 million Jews, and the tens of thousands of disabled people, LGBTQ+ people, those from the Roma & Gypsy communities, political prisoners, religious figures and many others murdered during the Holocaust, and all those killed under Nazi persecution and occupation. We stand shoulder-to-shoulder with all our diverse communities and continue to say ‘never again’.

“Holocaust Memorial Day is one day that we’re proud to come together to remember, to learn about the Holocaust, Nazi Persecution and those murdered in genocides since, such as those in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. We learn more about the past, we empathise with others today, and we take action for a better future.

“But it’s every day that we need to remember. The holocaust must never be forgotten, nor must it ever be repeated. We must all learn the lessons from the past, and how harmful prejudice and discrimination is.

“In keeping with the theme, we join the call and hope there may be one day in the future with no genocide. We do not tolerate hate in our city, and we support all of our diverse communities, including our faith, BAME, LGBT+ and disabled communities.

“We continue to work collaboratively with our community groups bringing people together, building tolerance and standing against hate wherever we find it.”
