These beautiful commemorative candles can be lit on Holocaust Memorial Day, 27 January, as part of our Light the Darkness national moment.

Through our work, we help people learn the vital lessons of the past - about prejudice, hatred, and the cost of silence. By understanding these lessons, we can work together to build a safer, more compassionate society.
