  We study confinement in 4d $\mathcal{N}=1$ $SU(N)$ Super-Yang Mills (SYM)
from a holographic point of view, focusing on the 1-form symmetry and its
relation to chiral symmetry breaking. In the 5d supergravity dual, obtained by
truncation of the Klebanov-Strassler solution, we identify the topological
couplings that determine the 1-form symmetry and its 't Hooft anomalies. One
such coupling is a mixed 0-form/1-form symmetry anomaly closely related to
chiral symmetry breaking in gapped confining vacua. From the dual gravity
description we also identify the infra-red (IR) 4d topological field theory
(TQFT), which realises chiral symmetry breaking and matches the mixed anomaly.
Finally, complementing this, we derive the chiral and mixed anomalies from the
Little String Theory realization of pure SYM.
