Six million Jews, including one
and a half million children, were murdered in the Holocaust -
a systematic genocide of one third of the entire Jewish population.
Holocaust Day is a day to remember the victims - those that
survived, and the many more who did not. It is also a day to
recall what human beings are capable of doing to one another.
Holocaust Day falls on Sunday April 15, 2007.
We memorialize the Holocaust for the sake of those that were
murdered, those that survived and for our own sake. As George
Santayana wrote: "Those who cannot remember history are doomed
to repeat it."
In these six sections, you'll find ways to commemorate the
Holocaust, study the history of the period, read eyewitness
accounts, and learn about the holiday and its observances.
AMCHA, Israeli Centers for Holocaust Survivors and the Second
Generation, is a remarkable organization that offers psychotherapy,

and volunteer services to homebound survivors. Click here
