Days of Remembrance, May 5–12
Holocaust
Remembrance Day (Yom Hashoah) on May 6 marks the eighty-first
anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising. The occasion offers the
opportunity to remember the victims of Nazi persecution; honor the
survivors, liberators, and rescuers; and recommit to educational
efforts to understand Holocaust history and fight against current
antisemitism and prejudice. In 1980, the United States Congress
established the annual Days of Remembrance, encouraging commemorations
across the country.
