Yom Hashoah Manchester - Monday 13th April 2026 at 7.45pm
It has never been easy for Holocaust survivors to share detailed accounts of what they endured during the Shoah The pain, the trauma, and the memories often remained locked away — not out of forgetfulness, but out of a desire to protect loved ones from the burden of their suffering.
On Monday, 13th April 2026, that silence will be broken. Stories — some never heard before — will be shared with our community. Survivors who have lived among us for decades, often choosing not to speak publicly about their past, are now having their testimonies told by their children and grandchildren. In many cases, these moving accounts have only come to light in recent years — sometimes even after the survivors have passed.
We ask you to stand together with the Manchester and Northwest Jewish communities in honouring these voices. This is a moment to listen, reflect, and ensure that their legacy is not forgotten.
In marking this anniversary of the Holocaust, we especially encourage you to bring children aged 12 and above — so that the truth of the Holocaust continues to be passed from generation to generation. At a time when misinformation, anti-Semitism, and racial hatred are rising, the importance of remembrance has never been greater.
Join us — survivors, families, friends, and the wider community — as we come together to remember the victims and honour the resilience of those who lived.
