2026 Yom HaShoah Commemoration

Yom HaShoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day, is the day set aside to remember the approximately six million Jewish victims of the Holocaust. The Holocaust Center has been holding a community-wide commemoration every year since the establishment of the Center in 1980.

This year's program will feature music played by students from Pittsburgh Youth Symphony Orchestra, poetry readings, filmed testimony from Holocaust survivors, a candle-lighting ceremony, and other traditional elements.

There are both in-person and virtual attendance options available (select the ticket that reflects your preferred attendance option when registering).
