Olivia Marks-Woldman
Olivia Marks-Woldman OBE has been the Chief Executive of the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT) since February 2012. Under her leadership, the organisation has seen significant growth in Holocaust Memorial Day observances across the UK, along with a huge increase in media coverage.
Olivia is deeply committed to the belief that everyone should learn about the Holocaust, the persecution of other groups by the Nazis, and more recent genocides. She feels privileged to work 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.
Prior to her work with HMDT, Olivia held various positions within the charity sector, focusing on political lobbying, policy development, and stakeholder engagement. Additionally, she serves as a trustee for Kids, a charity supporting children with disabilities.
