Every year the 27 January marks Holocaust Memorial Day. Around this time, people across the world join together to remember and reflect on the horrific events of the Holocaust, genocides and persecutions on a worldwide scale.
See further information about Holocaust Memorial Day from the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust.
We delivered a programme of Holocaust Memorial Day events, working with a range of partners both in and outside the city, inspired by the national theme ‘For A Better Future’.
This programme sought to commemorate the past, explore the continued persecutions of the present and encourage positive actions that make a difference in the future.
Holocaust Memorial Day 2025 marked the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest Nazi concentration camp complex, and the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia.
Holocaust Memorial Day is an opportunity for people to come together, learn both from and about the past, and take actions to make a better future for all.
