Blue Apple Theatre commemorates Holocaust Memorial Day 2026

On 27 January, Blue Apple Theatre joins people across the UK and around the world in marking Holocaust Memorial Day.

We remember the six million Jewish men, women and children murdered during the Holocaust, and the millions more persecuted and killed under Nazi rule.

We also remember the 250,000 intellectually disabled people murdered under Aktion T4 and related policies. Their stories are less widely known, but they remain an essential part of the collective memory of targeted persecution.

As part of our annual observance, to reflect on the day, we are sharing a short film created by Blue Apple Theatre in 2025. 🎥 Watch the film at: https://youtu.be/rcSqkOz0FK0

Holocaust Memorial Day is a moment to learn, to reflect, and to challenge prejudice wherever it persists.
