Yom Hashoah: Holocaust Remembrance Day

Yom Hashoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day, commemorates the 6 million Jews and millions of others who were killed in the Holocaust. The date is set in accordance with the Hebrew calendar, on the 27th of Nisan, so that it varies in regard to the Gregorian calendar. The date was chosen to mark the beginning of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising.  This year, 2023, Holocaust Remembrance Day begins on April 17th at sunset and ends on April 18th at sunset.
