Workers’ Memorial Day takes place tomorrow, the day when the International Labour Movement remembers those who have been killed or injured in workplace accidents and those who have died from occupational diseases. Holocaust Memorial Day is a national event dedicated to the remembrance of the victims of The Holocaust and subsequent holocausts worldwide.
