We remember. We don’t forget. Never again.

Yom HaShoah, also known as Holocaust Remembrance Day, begins tonight (Monday 4/13) and ends at sundown tomorrow (Tuesday 4/14).
 
Yom HaShoah is a solemn day of commemoration for the six million Jews who were murdered during the Holocaust by N**i Germany and its collaborators. It is a day dedicated to remembering the victims, honoring the survivors, and reaffirming the commitment to never forget the atrocities of the Shoah (“Shoah” meaning “catastrophe, devastation or destruction” in Hebrew).
 
The day often includes memorial ceremonies, the lighting of memorial candles, educational programs, and the recitation of names of those who perished. Yom HaShoah serves not only as a tribute to the lives lost but also as a reminder of the dangers of hatred, bigotry, and indifference. It is a call to ensure that future generations understand the Holocaust’s lessons and uphold the values of human dignity and tolerance.
