Olivia Marks-Woldman

Olivia joined the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT) as Chief Executive in February 2012. she has overseen the growth of Holocaust Memorial Day  around the country and a hugely increased media presence.

Believing  passionately that everyone, regardless of age or background, should know about the Holocaust, Nazi Persecution and the subsequent genocides, and should set aside time to remember all those who suffered. She feel fortunate to be working for an organisation that enables people to do this, that encourages people to consider their own responsibilities, and that puts the life stories of those who were murdered and those who survived at the centre of commemorations.

Before joining HMDT, Olivia worked in a number of other charities, mainly in roles that involved political lobbying, policy development and stakeholder engagement.
