The Light Up America Yellow Coalition brings together public officials, Jewish organizations, community leaders, and landmark institutions from across the country to honor International Holocaust Remembrance Day each year on January 27. By illuminating buildings, bridges, and public spaces in yellow, we create a visible tribute to the eleven million victims of the Holocaust and reaffirm our shared commitment to combating antisemitism, hate, and historical denial.
Â
What began as a regional effort has grown into a national movement, with more states joining each year. Our coalition works directly with governors’ offices, mayors, city councils, and civic partners to coordinate lighting events, raise awareness, and encourage meaningful conversations about remembrance and education. Together, we strive to ensure that the lessons of the Holocaust are never forgotten — and that future generations continue to stand against hatred in all its forms.
