Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day) HistoryHolocaust Remembrance Day, also known as Yom HaShoah, aims to honor the victims, educate future generations about the atrocities, promote human rights, and prevent future genocides. This day also serves as a solemn commemoration for the six million Jews who were systematically murdered during the Holocaust by Nazi Germany. Additionally, this day highlights the resistance and resilience of the Jewish people who survived, the Righteous Among the Nations who helped them, and the liberation by Allied forces. Holocaust Remembrance Day has an important particular significance for people in America. The United States played a crucial role in ending World War II and liberating the concentration camps, but it also struggled with its own issues of anti-Semitism and isolationism prior to the war. The observance is an opportunity to remember and learn about the Holocaust, its roots, and its aftermath, in order to understand the importance of standing up against hate and prejudice in all its forms. U.S. educators, institutions and communities typically organize a variety of educational events and memorial ceremonies to facilitate this. In the United States, the U.S. Congress established the Days of Remembrance, a week-long observance, which includes Yom HaShoah, to commemorate the victims of the Holocaust. Activities during the week include name readings of Holocaust victims, educational programs, communal prayer services, and more, as a way to remember and honor the victims and survivors, and to ensure the lessons of the Holocaust are never forgotten. Holocaust Remembrance Day is observed annually in accordance with the Hebrew Calendar, on the 27th of Nisan, which falls in April or May in the Gregorian calendar.
