UK Commemorative Ceremony

Each year we organise the UK Commemorative Ceremony for Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD). This is the focal point of HMD in the UK and brings together the civic, faith and political leadership of the country, alongside survivors of the Holocaust and more recent genocides.

We held the Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony for 2025 at London’s Guildhall which was attended by survivors of the Holocaust and more recent genocides.  We were also delighted to welcome The Prince and Princess of Wales, Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer MP, along with members of the Cabinet, faith and civic leaders and celebrities.  The event was broadcast by the BBC, achieving two million viewers.  Read more.
