Holocaust Remembrance Day is observed annually on Yom HaShoah, the twenty-seventh day of the Hebrew month of Nisan. This is a time for remembrance, education, and advocacy on behalf of the millions of victims of the Holocaust in Nazi Germany. In unprecedented and systemic ways, this period of genocide and mass murder was rooted in hate-driven political rhetoric and scapegoating that pitted neighbor against neighbor, manipulated religion for the sake of evil, and denied freedom by squashing dissent. Still even as the horror of the Holocaust calls to us from a too distant past, the reality of hate-inspired violence lives all around us. History is constantly threatening to repeat itself, and our faith demands constant vigilance.
