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, the 10th anniversary of the Chichester Marks Holocaust Memorial Day charity, will be a particularly poignant day as it will also be the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz.
To mark the occasion, we are presenting 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 will take place at the Minerva Theatre, Chichester on 27 January 2025 at 7.15pm and 28 January 2025 (2.15pm and 7.15pm).
You can book tickets from Chichester Festival Theatre here:
