Holocaust Memorial Day 2026 at City Hall
Monday 19th January | 10:50 am – 12:15 pm
Location: City Hall (Chamber), London
Watch online: Mayor of London YouTube – Live Stream
Join us at City Hall for this year’s Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration.
The theme for 2026 is “Bridging Generations” – encouraging us to engage with the past, listen and learn, and carry those lessons forward to build a bridge between memory and action, history and hope.
City Hall has worked closely with the Holocaust Educational Trust (HET) and the Holocaust Memorial Day Trust (HMDT) to create a ceremony that will commemorate victims of the Holocaust and provide time for reflection for those affected by more recent genocides. This solemn occasion is not only a moment of remembrance but also a call to responsibility: to ensure that the lessons of history guide us toward a future free from hatred and intolerance.
This special event will feature a performance by Lenka Lichtenberg, whose work powerfully connects generations through music and memory.
