Event details
About this event

Please view the recording of our 2023 International Holocaust Remembrance Day commemoration below. Our 2024 event will be held on 29 January, focusing on the theme ‘The Fragility of Freedom’. Learn more

The theme for the 2023 event is keeping memory alive, asking us to keep alive both the voices of Holocaust survivors, and the memories of those murdered. It is not just a call to remember the past, but to reflect on the different ways in which it can inform our actions into the future, inspiring us to combat antisemitism, racism and prejudice in all its forms.

Keeping memory alive also invites us to celebrate the histories and cultures of all communities, acknowledging and honouring our differences to foster a greater understanding and acceptance between peoples and promote human rights into the future.

This event provides a chance to hear survivor testimony and the insights of community leaders, as well as a special performance from the acclaimed Yiddish music group the Bashevis Singers.
