The Medway Holocaust Memorial Day Event will take place at Rochester Cathedral on Tuesday 27 January 2026 at 5:30pm, with the help of students from local schools and Medway Youth Council, together with Kent Police, MIFA and representatives of the synagogue.
This Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) marks the 81st anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp complex.
The theme for 2026 is "Bridging Generations”. The aftermath of the Holocaust, and of subsequent genocides, continues to raise challenging questions for individuals, communities, and nations. HMD 2026 asks audiences to think about what happens after genocide and of our own responsibilities in the wake of such a crime.
