Today is Yom HaShoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day. On this day, we honor the memory of the six million Jews whose lives were extinguished in the Holocaust. Israel and Jewish communities around the world observe Yom HaShoah, commemorating one of the most horrific events in human history, more than 6 million Jewish men, women and children were tortured, persecuted and murdered by the Nazi regime and its followers.
This year’s Yom HaShoah forewarns of a dark future for Jewry, coming just months after the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust, and amid the jihad against the Jewish state.
Yom HaShoah has been observed in Israel since 1951, with the date anchored in law by the Knesset in 1959.
