Yom HaShoah 2016: Remembering the 6 million Jewish people killed during the Nazi Holocaust
More than 70 years ago six million Jewish people were killed during the Holocaust.
Today, Jewish communities across the world will come together to commemorate those who died at the hands of Adolf Hitler and Nazi Germany during World War II during Yom HaShoah.Yom Hashoah, or by its full name Yom HaShoah Ve-Hagevurah, is the Hebrew name for Holocaust (Shoah) Memorial Day, literally translated as ‘Day of the Holocaust and the Heroism’.
The day serves as a memorial of those who died during the Holocaust, giving families time to reflect on the lives lost and educate future generations against anti-semitism.Yom HaShoah is different to Holocaust Memorial Day, which was held on January 27 this year to mark the date of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest of the Nazi concentration camps – but also to commemorate those killed during holocausts in Cambodia, Rwanda, Bosnia and Darfur.
“We hold these truths to be self-evident,” former vice president Biden said during a campaign event in Texas on Monday. "All men and women created by — you know, you know, the thing.”

Re: Holocaust Remembrance Day 2016
If we held a moment of silence for every victim of the Holocaust we would be silent for eleven and a half years.
We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.
