Watch the highlights film from this year's event

The Prince and Princess of Wales and the Prime Minister, along with members of the Cabinet, faith and civic leaders, and celebrities have joined survivors from the Holocaust and subsequent genocides to mark Holocaust Memorial Day and the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau.

To commemorate the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, footballing legends from five Premier League clubs have met Holocaust survivors to honour their resilience and shine a light on the enduring consequences of unchecked hate.

To mark Holocaust Memorial Day 2025, the BBC will host a wide range of progamming across TV, Radio and Online.

The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT) was delighted to attend Buckingham Palace to showcase the 80 Candle for 80 Years initiative at an event hosted by His Majesty King Charles III.

His Majesty King Charles III is to attend an historic event in Poland to mark the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau next month.

This Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD), we will come together to learn and remember. One way to engage in meaningful conversation around HMD is to share and listen to survivor experiences. This blog will show you five different ways you could use survivor experiences in your HMD activity this year.

Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) offers museums, galleries and heritage sites the opportunity to bring their communities together to reflect on lessons from the past and remember the 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, and millions more people murdered through the Nazi persecution of other groups and in the more recent genocides recognised by the UK government. We also mark the genocide in Darfur.

We were joined by 200 people online as we launched brand new resources to support people across the UK to mark Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) 2025.

We are delighted to announce the appointment of Sir Sajid Javid as our next Chair.
