SUMMARY:USHMM | 2026 National Days of Remembrance Commemoration
DESCRIPTION:Join USHMM virtually\, live from the US Capitol\, for the national commemoration of the Holocaust to remember the six million Jews who were murdered and the millions of other victims of Nazi persecution. The ceremony will feature remarks from Holocaust survivors\, members of Congress\, and other dignitaries. The 3d US Infantry Regiment (“The Old Guard”) will present the colors and the flags of World War II liberating divisions\, and the US Army Band will perform. In addition to a memorial candle-lighting\, attendees will pay tribute to the victims. \nCongress created the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum as a permanent living memorial to the victims of the Holocaust and established annual Days of Remembrance to be held each spring. This year’s observance is especially important\, given the continuing surge in violent antisemitism and increased Holocaust denial and distortion. \nWe also will mark America’s 250th birthday in 2026 by honoring Americans who rescued European Jews\, US soldiers who defeated Nazi Germany during World War II\, and Holocaust survivors who cherished the freedom they experienced after immigrating to the United States.\nAfter the live broadcast\, the recording will be available to watch on demand.\nTo sign up for the reminder for this event\, click here.&nbsp\;
