Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day 2026

Unto Every Person There is a Name: Holocaust Martyrs’ and Heroes’ Remembrance Day 2026 will be held from 8:45 a.m. to 11:45 a.m. in-person at Feldman Hall in the Selig Center and from 11:45 a.m. to 4 p.m. via Zoom.

Since 1989 on Yom Hashoah – Holocaust Remembrance Day, B’nai B’rith International has been the North American sponsor of the “Unto Every Person There Is a Name” Remembrance ceremonies. Participants read the names of Holocaust victims, along with their own loved ones’ names, where they were murdered and their age. These memorial observances, created by Yad Vashem in Jerusalem, honor more and more victims each year, as the project collects more names over the years.

The gathering will be held in-person at Feldman Hall in the Selig Center in Atlanta and on Zoom on April 14 with an especially moving Holocaust memorial observance. Attendees will read the names of Holocaust children and adults who were murdered in World War II, as well as their ages and places of death. This program is being conducted by B’nai B’rith lodges nationwide, and its objective is to recognize that there were actually millions and millions of individual lives lost, not just a large number of people, not just Jewish people, and that it should never again happen.

A schedule of reading times for readers will be provided in advance. The list of children and adult names to be read on a shared screen will be viewable by all attendees.
