Holocaust Remembrance Day 2026 in Turin offers cultural and educational events to remember the Holocaust and promote civic responsibility.

On the occasion of Holocaust Remembrance Day 2026, the City of Turin renews its commitment to promoting historical memory, dialogue, and civic responsibility through a rich program of cultural, educational, and commemorative initiatives.
The dedicated booklet collects events, meetings, shows, exhibitions, and moments of reflection taking place in the months of January and February, involving cultural institutions, schools, associations, and citizens.
The underlying theme of these initiatives is the remembrance of the Holocaust and racial, political, and religious persecution, with a careful eye on the consequences of hatred, indifference, and discrimination throughout history and the present.
Through conferences, public readings, film screenings, and educational programs, the program invites people to learn about and understand the events of the twentieth century, highlighting individual testimonies and stories as fundamental tools for awareness.
Great attention is paid to the younger generations, with activities designed for schools of all levels, so that memory becomes a living experience and an opportunity for civic growth.
The city’s museums and cultural institutions contribute with exhibitions and thematic insights that intertwine history, art, and memory, offering multiple and accessible interpretations.
The calendar of events also invites active participation from citizens, in the belief that remembrance is not only a duty of the past, but a responsibility towards the future.
With this program, Turin confirms its role as a city attentive to the values ​​of democracy, human rights, and coexistence, reaffirming the profound significance of Holocaust Remembrance Day as an opportunity for collective reflection and shared commitment.

Below is the brochure with all the appointments.
