LIGHTING UP NEW JERSEY YELLOW

New Jersey plays an active role in the national movement to illuminate America in yellow on January 27 for International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The state’s participation helps strengthen awareness and reinforces the importance of remembrance across the region.

With each new location involved, New Jersey continues to support Holocaust education and the fight against antisemitism. We invite additional cities, institutions, and landmarks to join the initiative. Please contact the coalition if your New Jersey location would like to be included.

Participating Locations In New Jersey

Atlantic City Casinos – Atlantic City

Casinos along the Atlantic City boardwalk illuminated their facades in yellow, casting a powerful glow across the city’s iconic shoreline. This coordinated display brought the message of remembrance to one of New Jersey’s most visited destinations.

New Jersey State House

Located in Trenton it is the third oldest State House in continuous legislative use in the United States. The Governor has lit up the State Capitol yellow every year since 2023 to honor the memory of the victims of the Holocaust.

Trenton Makes Bridge

The sign "Trento Makes The World Takes" coined in 1910, and illuminated in yellow, represented Trenton's industrial power producing steel, rubber, wire and ceramics, much of which was used during World War II and shipped overseas.

Interested in having your New Jersey building or institution join this initiative?

We welcome participation from additional cities, agencies, landmarks, and organizations across the state.
