On Gotland, lectures are held on Friday evenings and music is played at the Almedal Library in Visby.

Kerstin Blomberg, former chairman of the Emerich Foundation, worked for a long time together with Holocaust survivor Emerich Roth, who returned several times to speak in Gotland's schools.

Every year, she also awards the Emerich Prize to someone or a few who work for humanity.

In the clip, you hear her tell what this day means, and why it is important.
