About the event
City Hall has worked closely with the Holocaust Educational Trust (HET) and The Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT) to create a ceremony that will commemorate victims of the Holocaust and provide time for reflection for those affected by more recent genocides.
The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2026 is 'Bridging Generations'. This theme encourages us all to engage actively with the past – to listen, to learn and to carry those lessons forward. By doing so, we build a bridge between memory and action, between history and hope for the future.
