Organising an activity
We are delighted that you are interested in organising an activity to mark Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD). You are joining thousands of individuals and organisations who want to share the lessons of the past to create a safer, better future.
Holocaust Memorial Day is a national day that takes place on 27 January. We commemorate the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered during the Holocaust, and the millions more murdered under the Nazi persecution of other communities. We also learn and remember where persecution led in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
Each year local Holocaust Memorial Day activities take place, bringing people together from all backgrounds, across the UK. Each activity provides a meaningful opportunity for attendees to consider how we can all make our society a more inclusive place today, free from hatred, prejudice and discrimination.
From schools and libraries to museums and prisons, HMD activities take place in diverse settings. Explore the links below for ideas, support and guidance for your activity.
