There are many ways to commemorate the Holocaust. This collection of Israeli resources from the iCenter can add important elements to whatever ceremony or learning experience you plan for Yom Hashoah.
Yom HaShoah (יום השואה) is the day designated by Israel to commemorate the Holocaust. Established in 1951, the memorial day coincides with the anniversary of the beginning of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising, a symbol of Jewish resistance to the Nazis. This is the date on which most Jewish communities across North America commemorate the Shoah. International Holocaust Remembrance Day, designated by the United Nations in 2005, coincides with the liberation of Auschwitz as the war was coming to an end.
