Iconic landmarks, buildings and community spaces across the UK lit up in purple for Holocaust Memorial Day at 8pm, as part of our national Light the Darkness moment.

Welcome to our media centre which is the starting point for all press enquiries. Holocaust Memorial Day Trust is the charity which promotes and supports Holocaust Memorial Day across the UK each year on and around 27 January.

The Holocaust (השואה 'The Shoah' in Hebrew) was the attempt by the Nazis and their collaborators to murder all the Jews in Europe. From the time they assumed power in Germany in 1933, the Nazis used propaganda, persecution, and legislation to deny human and civil rights to German Jews. They used centuries of antisemitism (anti-Jewish hatred) as their foundation.

Each year we produce a Trustees’ Report and Financial Statements - and an Annual Review booklet.
