Holocaust Remembrance Day | Jewish Historical Society

In 2023 the Holocaust Days of Remembrance will be observed from Sunday April 16 through Sunday April 23. During this time, we remember the 6,000,000 Jewish men, women, and children who were murdered under the Nazis during the Holocaust. We remind ourselves, and the world to “Never Forget” the atrocities that occurred. Many observances and memorials take place locally and around the world to commemorate the dead. Below are archived photos depicting some of these observances.
