The Charity Commission registered the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust today in time
for VE Day on 8 May.
The trust honours the memory of those killed in the concentration
camps of the Second World War.

Andrew Hind, Chief Executive of the Charity Commission, said: “We were pleased that
we were able to act quickly enough to set up this new charity in time for the 60th
anniversary commemorations of the Second World War. As the charity sector grows 
it is becoming increasingly diverse and the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, with its
unique objectives, illustrates this.”
