Don't Forget Yom haShoah Ve'Hagvura Today
Today is the Jewish religious holiday Remembrance Day.
According to ::wikipedia("Yom Hazikaron LaShoah Ve'Lagvura", "Wikipedia")::, on Remembrance Day tens of thousands of Israeli high-school students hold a memorial service in Auschwitz called "The March of the Living" in defiance of the Holocaust Death Marches.
There are multiple names used to refer to the holiday today:
- Remembrance Day
- Yom haShoah Ve'Hagvura (יום הזיכרון לשואה ולגבורה)
- Holocaust Remembrance Day
- Yom HaShoah (יום השואה)
- The Remembrance day of The Holocaust and the Heroism
- Yom Hazikaron LaShoah Ve'Lagvura
Though I am not Jewish, I think that today is certainly a day to take some time and reflect again on the Holocaust, the events surrounding it, and most importantly the people affected by it.
