Today is Holocaust Memorial Day - 27 January 2026
Today is Holocaust Memorial Day, and we will be marking it by lighting the Littlehampton Civic Centre and Bognor Regis Town Hall in purple.
We commemorate the six million Jewish men, women and children, including millions more murdered under Nazi persecution.
The theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2026, 'Bridging Generations', is a call-to-action, and an important reminder that the responsibility of remembrance doesn't end with the survivors - it lives on through generations.
You can join Holocaust Memorial Day Trust for the 'Light the Darkness' national moment, by placing a candle safely in your window at 8pm on 27 January.
As we commemorate the past, there's always hope if we can educate for a better future. Find out more here: Holocaust Memorial Day Trust
