Holocaust Memorial Day: 27 January
We are commemorating Holocaust Memorial Day with a series of events to honour the victims of the Holocaust, and reflect on its enduring lessons.
The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2026 is 'Bridging Generations', encouraging us 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.
Find out here about the events, talks and activities happening across the University to mark Holocaust Memorial Day.
