The Department funds the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust which provides resources to local authorities to support local Holocaust Memorial Day events. In 2017 there were 7,700 local Holocaust Memorial Day events across the country many of them were hosted by local authorities. We are expecting the same this year but will not have the total numbers until after Holocaust Memorial Day.
