Yom Hashoah Ve-Hagevurah: Remembering the Victims of the Holocaust Day

This was observed around the world yesterday. And by the 'moment of silence' in Israel.

[One of those US soldiers there that day: Fr. Denzer, RIP. Pray for us.] The full name of the day commemorating the victims of the Holocaust is "Yom Hashoah Ve-Hagevurah"--literally the "Day of (Remembrance of) the Holocaust and the Heroism." It is marked on the 27th day in the month of Nisan--a week after the seventh day of Passover, and a week before Yom Hazikaron (Memorial Day for Israel's fallen soldiers). ============== 'To REMEMBER is to walk in two worlds.' ~Elie Wiesel
