I am pleased to announce we will soon be launching a new page on the blog, which will feature guest reviews of films, books and events with themes regarding death, dying and loss. If you would like to get involved and have your review featured, email your name and review to Amy.King@mariecurie.org.uk or contact us via Facebook or Twitter.

We have also recently uploaded our ‘Attitudes toward Death, Dying and Loss’ survey to the blog, which you can find under ‘Downloads’ or fill in online by clicking HERE.
As you may know, yesterday was Holocaust Memorial Day. People across the country attended events in remembrance of the persecution of Jewish and other communities by Nazi Germany in the Second World War. They also gathered to remember the 20th anniversary of the genocide that took place in Bosnia in 1994.
The national theme this year was Journeys. There are millions of individuals who were affected by the holocaust and each of them had their own experiences and journeys through horrific times. It is important for future generations to remember and recognise that these events can never happen again. However, there is still discrimination and injustice happening in the world every day, which we should remember not only on a designated date but all year round.

The Museum of Liverpool hosted a special day of events to mark the Holocaust Memorial on Sunday 26th January. Although this event has been and gone, year round you can explore Jewish Community history in Liverpool through a self-led trail around the museum.
