York Minster’s Holocaust Memorial Day event is on Saturday the 27th of January from 6.30 pm until 8.00 pm.

York Minster will once again light 600 candles in the shape of the Star of David to mark Holocaust Memorial Day later this month. The candles will be set out on the floor of the cathedral’s ancient Chapter House on Saturday, January 27 for the annual event.

The day remembers the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis in the Second World War - and the millions of other people of all faiths murdered in genocides which have occurred around the world since. York Minster’s Holocaust Memorial Day event is on Saturday the 27th of January from 6.30 pm until 8.00 pm.
