Holocaust Memorial Day 2025 - Tell us your plans
We would like to invite you to join us in marking Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD), the international day on 27 January to remember the 6 million Jews murdered during the Holocaust, and millions more people murdered through the Nazi persecution of other groups and in the more recent genocides recognised by the UK government. We also mark the genocide in Darfur. This year will be the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau and the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia.
The theme for HMD 2025 is For a Better Future . We hope people will come together to learn about the past and take actions to make a better future for all.
Your HMD activities can take place between December and February. Whether you're planning an event or looking for meaningful ways to participate, we offer a wide range of resources, ideas, and guidance to help:
