Today we remember the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp

Today we remember the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp where over 1 million Jews and other victims of Nazi persecution were murdered. This video produced by the National Holocaust Centre and Museum stars players and coaches from 14 leading clubs in the English Premier League, FA Women's Super League and EFL Championship. We thank each and every one of them. They are the ones who have not stood by. They are the ones who have stood up.

Millions of people were stripped of their humanity and murdered during the Holocaust and Nazi Persecution. Each person was unique, with their own interests, friends and family and must be remembered. #StandTogether with thousands of others in remembrance and share information about one of these people on your Facebook or Twitter account. Many have never been identified. We must not forget them, so you may be remembering a victim whose name is unknown. Use the hashtag #StandTogether when sharing on Twitter in order for your tweet to appear on our Memorial Wall. Find out more about the people we are remembering here.

The Years We Shared

A Song by Runrig 

You bloomed like the rose of summer
And I held you in my arms
And in that knowing I found purpose
We walked on the stars

The world changes, we get older
What comes in love must leave in pain
And all the gifts we early treasure
The world takes away

The years we shared
Will find their beating in a heart somewhere
But the traces of our greatest days
Will fade away

From the pier the ships are leaving
The seeds to saplings grow
Saplings first turn to forests
Then ships of oak

Fair winds blow through the journey
And I watch you from afar
Sailing on distant oceans
Of eternal calm

The years we shared ...

When it all started, it came like poetry
A vision our truth awakened
