Yom ha-shoah commemoration in Israel

 

Jerusalem, April 27-28, 2022

 

Yom HaZikaron la-Shoah ve-la-G'vurah (יום הזיכרון לשואה ולגבורה; "Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day"), known colloquially in Israel and abroad as Yom Ha-Shoah (יום השואה) and in English as Holocaust Remembrance Day, or Holocaust Day, is observed as Israel's day of commemoration for the approximately six million Jews and five million others who perished in the Holocaust as a result of the actions carried out by Nazi Germany and its accessories, and for the Jewish resistance in that period.

In Israel, it is a national memorial day and public holiday. It was inaugurated on 1953, anchored by a law signed by the Prime Minister of Israel David Ben-Gurion and the President of Israel Yitzhak Ben-Zvi. It is held on the 27th of the Jewish month of Nissan (April/May), unless the 27th would be adjacent to Shabbat, in which case the date is shifted by a day.
