Holocaust Memorial Day
Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) takes place every year on 27 January. It is a national day of commemoration for the six million Jewish men, women, and children murdered during the Holocaust, as well as the millions killed in subsequent genocides in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Darfur. HMD is an opportunity for communities across the UK to come together to remember, reflect, and learn.
Redbridge will be commemorating Holocaust Memorial Day on Tuesday 27 January with an event at Valentines Park.
The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2026, ‘Bridging Generations’ is a call-to-action. A reminder that the responsibility of remembrance doesn’t end with the survivors - it lives on through their children, their grandchildren and through all of us.
There will be guest speakers from the council, the local Jewish community, faith groups and schools, and a performance from the Oaks Lane Reform Synagogue choir.
This memorial is open to the public. Seating will be limited, but there will also be standing room.
