To mark International Holocaust Remembrance Day, the ECB held a ceremony on Tuesday, 27 January 2026 at the Grossmarkthalle Jewish memorial. Each year, the European Central Bank honours the victims of the Holocaust, including those who were deported from Frankfurt’s Grossmarkthalle.
This year’s commemorative event included a conversation between ECB President Christine Lagarde and designer and philanthropist Diane von Fürstenberg, whose parents survived the Holocaust. Mrs von Fürstenberg spoke about her family’s story and offered reflections on intergenerational trauma and resilience.
The ceremony also featured speeches by:
• Christine Lagarde, ECB President
• Ina Hartwig, Frankfurt City Councilor for Culture and Science
• Mirjam Wenzel, Director of the Jewish Museum Frankfurt
• Uwe Becker, Hessian State Commissioner for Jewish Life and the Fight against Antisemitism
