The 27th of January was chosen as it is the anniversary of the day in 1945 on which the Soviet Army liberated the largest Nazi concentration camp - Auschwitz-Birkenau in Poland.
The Council of Christians and Jews working with Churches Together in Britain and Ireland produced a number of resources for Christian clergy to use with their congregations to commemorate the event.
Each year HMD has a theme - the theme for 2013 is 'Communities Together: Build a Bridge'.
