Israel began observing its own national memorial day for the victims of the Holocaust on Sunday, noting parallels between the horrors of Nazi Europe and the terror that Israelis endured during the Hamas attack of October 7.
However, many Jews had already memorialized the Holocaust on a different date, the 27th of the month of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar, which usually falls in April or May. The day is known as “” in Hebrew, which means “Day of the Holocaust and the Heroism.” Unlike the 27th of January, which sees Jews only as victims, Yom HaShoah marks the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in 1943, a monument to Jewish resistance.
Israel’s Army Radio noted that some of the survivors of the Holocaust had been victims or survivors of the October 7 attack as well. One correspondent mentioned that people who had jumped from cattle cars in Europe to avoid being sent to Nazi death camps were forced in October to leap from their windows to avoid murder or capture by Hamas.
Therefore, we will defend ourselves in every way. We will overcome our enemies and we will ensure our security – in the Gaza Strip, on the Lebanese border, everywhere.
