​In 1953, Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom Hashoah in Hebrew), was voted by the Israeli Knesset as an official national memorial day in Israel. Then Prime Minister David Ben-Gurion established that day as a yearly memorial for the six million Jewish murdered in the Holocaust by the Germany's Nazi regime and its accomplices. Since then every year Jewish people remember the Shoah or “Catastrophe” in the memory of their loved ones who lost their lives in the Holocaust. The memory of the Holocaust should serve Jews and Non- Jews as a lesson to confront anti-Semitism, prevent genocide, and promote human dignity.
