Yom Hashoah
Holocaust Memorial Day


Yom Hashoah 2024 begins on Sunday evening May 5
and continues through Monday May 6.

The internationally–recognized date comes from the Hebrew calendar
and corresponds to the 27th day of Nisan.
That is the date on which Israel commemorates the victims of the Holocaust.

In Hebrew, Holocaust Remembrance Day is called Yom Hashoah.


When the actual date of Yom Hashoah falls on a Friday the state of Israel, following Knesset legislation, observes Yom Hashoah on the preceding Thursday.
