Zikaron BaSalon is a social initiative that takes place around the world on Yom Hashoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) as well as on other dates throughout the year. Literally meaning "remembrance in the living room" in Hebrew, the idea was born out of the understanding that modern society’s connection with the memory of the Holocaust has significantly deteriorated.
Alongside formal events, Zikaron BaSalon offers a new, meaningful and intimate way to commemorate this day and address its implications through discussions at home among family, friends and guests. It is a unique and authentic tradition of people gathering together to open their hearts to the stories of the survivors, sing, think, read, talk, and most importantly—listen.
This coming Holocaust Remembrance Day, we invite you to take part in the commemoration by hosting or participating in a gathering of Zikaron BaSalon. We will ensure that it will be a simple event for hosts to organize.
We are here to help you create a meaningful experience.
Join over a 1.5 million Zikaron BaSalon hosts and participants worldwide.

"Never before was I able to partake in an honest conversation about the Holocaust with a German."
