Genocide Memorial Day 2026: Geneva

Posted on | AURDIP

The fifth annual Genocide Memorial Day event in Geneva took place at the Université Ouvrière de Genève (UOG) on Saturday 26th January 2026 from 6pm to 22pm. The theme of this year’s event is related to Gaza in Palestine and the genocide that has been taking place in Gaza for the past two years. The speakers answered the question “Gaza: How did we get there?” They brought their analysis on how did we get to a situation where a genocide occurred in Gaza and is still on going. Where there is a harsh blockade and where all essential requirements for living have been blocked by the Israelis.
