Remembering

The Six Million

Light a candle to honour victims of the Holocaust

Holocaust Memorial Day is the British national commemoration day held every year on January 27 dedicated to the remembrance of the six million Jews who were murdered in the Holocaust alongside the other victims of Nazi persecution.

There are many different and meaningful ways you can get involved and play your part to mark Holocaust Memorial Day which you can read about here.

We’re encouraging all communities to take part in Holocaust Memorial Day Trust’s worldwide initiative of lighting a candle and in the words of Holocaust Memorial Day Trust, taking a moment to “remember all those who were murdered for who they were and stand against prejudice and hatred in the world today”.
