Events for Holocaust Memorial Day 2027

The national theme for Holocaust Memorial Day 2027 is No Place for Prejudice – how prejudice shaped the Holocaust and how it is a growing reality today.

We will be starting planning for the event in summer 2026. All ideas and suggestions of types of event, films, displays, talks, musical performances etc are very welcome. Our HMD events have been different every year. We are totally open to new ideas.
And we would very much like to hear from anyone who would like to join our informal group. You don’t have to be Jewish (our current chair isn’t) or an ‘expert’.  

Things we need help with include:

• Contact with venues
• Finding speakers and/or musicians
• Helping with a publicity display
• Helping with putting the brochure together
• Taking photos
• Serving refreshments
• Contacting the press
• Helping run the website (it’s very easy! Just like word processing)
• Speaking in public – to introduce a film or at the main event
• Getting young people and schools involved
• Liaising with Depot cinema and helping decide on which film(s) to screen

If you would like to help, or just find out a bit more, please message us via the ‘contact’ tab on this website.
