We are inviting landmarks, buildings and community spaces across the UK to light up in purple for Holocaust Memorial Day at 8pm on Tuesday 27 January 2026, as part of our national Light the Darkness 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.

The Temple of Peace in Cardiff saw civic, faith and political leaders join communities from across Wales on 27 January to commemorate Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) 2025.

Download our About HMD flyers and booklets to give out at your Holocaust Memorial Day activities. They provide information about the Holocaust, more recent genocides, and Holocaust Memorial Day.
