Text, Questions & Answers

Holocaust Remembrance Day, known in Israel and many other countries as Yom HaShoah, is a day dedicated to memorializing the six million Jews who were systematically murdered by Nazi Germany during World War II. It serves as a stark reminder of the horrifying depths humanity can sink to when hatred goes unchecked. The Holocaust was precipitated by the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party, who propagated a deeply anti-Semitic ideology. They successfully dehumanized Jews and convinced many Germans to participate in, or turn a blind eye to, their annihilation. On Holocaust Remembrance Day, communities around the world hold ceremonies and vigils, reading names of victims, lighting candles, and observing moments of silence. These rituals are not just about mourning the lost, but also serve as a commitment to fight against bigotry and hatred, reminding us of the catastrophic consequences if we fail to do so.
