Our Memory Makers project pairs Holocaust and genocide survivors with nine British artists, who will respond to their stories with works of art for Holocaust Memorial Day 2015. In this video Holocaust survivor Anita Lasker-Wallfisch meets Stephen Fry.
Memory Makers ensures that survivors’ experiences aren’t lost to history, and that a new generation can engage with the stories of genocide. We are asking you to share these powerful stories of survivors and contribute your own responses to Keep the memory alive for Holocaust Memorial Day 2015.

Holocaust Memorial Day takes place on 27 January each year, marking the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp. It’s a time for everyone to pause and remember the millions of people who have been murdered or whose lives have been changed beyond recognition during the Holocaust, Nazi Persecution and in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur. On HMD we can honour the survivors of these regimes and challenge ourselves to use the lessons of their experience to inform our lives today.
