The full name of the day commemorating the victims of the Holocaust is “Yom Hashoah Ve-Hagevurah“– literally the “Day of (Remembrance of) the Holocaust and the Heroism.” It is marked on the 27th day in the month of Nisan.
Today, we honor the memories of those that went before us. We lament and light a candle that will burn for 24 hours in memory of those lost. The concept of a special yahrzeit candle was originally developed in the late 1970s by survivors of the Shoah to remember victims of the Shoah with an observance in their homes.
