Lighting the Way: 80 Years of Remembrance

On Wednesday evening, 23rd April 2025, Yom HaShoah UK hosted a powerful commemoration outside Parliament, marking 80 years since the end of the Holocaust and the liberation of Bergen-Belsen. The event brought together thousands, including survivors, refugees, dignitaries, and young people, to remember the past and vow to keep its memory alive.

A standout moment featured 300 candles glowing brightly as a 300-strong children's choir performed “Never Again,” creating a deeply moving tribute. Following this, 80 young people held candles to symbolise 80 years since the Holocaust’s end.

Blue Diamond proudly supported the event by donating the battery-operated candles, helping create one of the most visually striking moments of the commemoration. These candles illuminated the ceremony as it unfolded before the Houses of Parliament, honouring the last living witnesses and inspiring the next generation with light and hope.
