Chichester Remembers
We’re keeping the memories alive through performance art for people of all ages and backgrounds

Welcome to the website of Chichester Marks Holocaust Memorial Day

We are a registered charity based in Chichester and dedicated to advancing the education of the public in the history and experiences of the Holocaust and other genocides

Monday 27 January 2025 saw the 10th anniversary of the Chichester Marks Holocaust Memorial Day charity. It was a particularly poignant day as it also marked the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.

To mark the occasion, we presented The Last Train to Tomorrow, an opera composed by Carl Davis telling the story of the flight in 1938-39 of 10,000 children from the Nazis.

Kindertransport rescue trains to London, such as the ones organised by Sir Nicholson Winton from Prague, carried the children to safety.

Performances took place at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester on 27 and 28 January 2025.

In 2021, we conducted our Holocaust Memorial Day commemoration online, a recording of which is available to view below.

We’re always on the lookout for people who can offer help to allow us to continue and grow the work we do, either by assisting financially or with their free time. All help is really appreciated.
