Holocaust Memorial Day or International Holocaust Remembrance Day is commemorated each year in remembrance of victims of genocide across the world. It is an international day to remember in particular the over six million Jews killed during the Holocaust.

On the 31st of January 2023, the Press Kids group together with Ms Charmaine and a few other teachers visited the Farmers’ Market and “Pitkalija” in Ta’ Qali.
