Holocaust Memorial Day 2026

Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD), on the 27 January, is an international day of remembrance which marks the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Berkenau, the largest Nazi death camp. 

This year, the Jewish Society will welcome John Fieldsend, a Holocaust survivor, who will share his story of coming to the UK as a child through the Kindertransport scheme, escaping through Czechoslovakia with his brother and leaving his parents behind. He will also give insights from his book A Wondering Jew.

Attend the event on Tuesday 27 January, 19:00-21:00, in the Teaching & Learning Building.
