| About Holocaust Remembrance Day |
| The International Holocaust Remembrance Day was established to remember the Holocaust and the six million Jews who perished. It is the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto uprising. It is observed as a day of commemoration for the approximately six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust. The internationally–recognized date comes from the Hebrew calendar and corresponds to the 27th day of Nisan on that calendar. In Hebrew, Holocaust Remembrance Day is called Yom Hashoah. It is also known as Yom HaZikaron laShoah ve-laGvura or Remembrance Day for the Holocaust and Heroism. The Holocaust is the systematic killing of six million Jewish men, women, and children and millions of others by Nazi Germany and its collaborators during World War II. In Israel, it is a national memorial day. |
