Yom Ha'Zikaron la Shoah ve-la G'vura, Holocaust Remembrance Day

This year Yom HaShoah, the Holocaust Remembrance Day, begins at sundown on Wednesday, 23 April 2025 and ends at nightfall Thursday, 24 April 2025. During this time, we commemorate and remember the 6,000,000 Jewish men, women, and children who were murdered under the Nazis during the Holocaust. At many observances and memorials that take place locally and around the world, survivors tell their stories to remind us of what transpired during those dark times. Each year there are fewer and fewer survivors alive to recant their stories. Below are JHSNJ archived newspaper articles of Holocaust survivors telling their story.
