Yom Hashoah u’Gevurah, the day set aside to remember Holocaust victims and heroes, falls this year on Monday, April 28. Many schools commemorate the event with a school-wide ceremony, often in combination with reading the names of some of the six million Jewish victims of Nazi persecution. Go to our Featured Document to see the 1955 Israeli law establishing Yom HaShoah. Both the US Holocaust Memorial Museum and Yad Vashem have pages with resources for planning commemorative programs. See our page on Holocaust and Recovery for links to videos with survivor testimony. For a different look at Jewish communities affected by the Holocaust, see our Featured Video, “Bulgarian Jewry During the Holocaust.”
