The international theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2019 is "Torn From Home," which encourages people to reflect on how the enforced loss of a safe place to call home is part of the trauma faced by anyone experiencing persecution and genocide. This year also marks the 25th anniversary of the Rwandan genocide, which began in April of 1994, and the 40th anniversary of the end of the Cambodian genocide, which ended in 1979.
