What is Holocaust Memorial Day?

What is Holocaust Memorial Day?

We promote and support Holocaust Memorial Day - the international day on 27 January - which marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi death camp.

Ideas for your activities

Whether you are organising a large, formal commemorative ceremony or a smaller, informal Holocaust Memorial Day activity, the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust is here to inspire and support you with ideas for your activity.

Impact

Commemorating the 6 million Jewish men, women and children murdered in the Holocaust, the millions of other people targeted and murdered by the Nazis, and the genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur has a powerful impact on those who organise and those who attend events.
