Память о Холокосте

Йо ха-Шоа, «День Катастрофы», в государстве Израиля является Днем памяти о Холокосте. В этот печальный день воздают дань памяти шести миллионам евреев, погибших во время Холокоста и чествуют физическую и духовную стойкость евреев в то темное время. В качестве части «Месяца нации», от Пасхи до праздника Йом Иерушалаим, Фонд проводит День памяти Холокоста с церемониями во многих лесах страны и исторических местах, созданных для поминовения тех, кто погиб от рук нацистов.

В этот год мы проводили День памяти Холокоста в необычном виде, но его смысл остается все тем же — помнить всегда и никогда не забывать.

Всегда помнить и никогда не забудем
