Holocaust Remembrance Day Resources
What is Yom Hashoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day?
"In Hebrew, Holocaust Remembrance Day is called Yom Hashoah. When the actual date of Yom Hashoah falls on a Friday, the state of Israel observes Yom Hashoah on the preceding Thursday. When it falls on a Sunday, Yom Hashoah is observed on the following Monday. In the United States, Days of Remembrance runs from the Sunday before Yom Hashoah through the following Sunday."
This year, the US 'Days of Remembrance' period runs from Sunday, April 20 through Sunday, April 27, 2025.
