Holocaust Memorial Day, Sunday 25th January 2026

The National Holocaust Memorial Day Commemoration took place on Sunday the 25th of January, organised by Holocaust Education Ireland. Every year it is held on the closest Sunday to the 27th of January as International Holocaust Memorial Day marks the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau in 1945. This year it was held in The Royal Hospital Kilmainham and students and staff attended. Students from Stratford College are invited every year to read from the Scroll of Names which is a list of relatives of Irish people who lost their lives in the Holocaust. For some of these people we know where they were born, where they died or how old they were, for others we have only their names. Through reading the scroll we remember all of these people. This years readers were TY students: Laila, Ciara and Julia.
