The date for Holocaust Remembrance Day is the 27th of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar. In Hebrew, Holocaust Remembrance Day is Yom HaZikaron laShoah ve-la G’vurah (Holocaust and Heroism Remembrance Day), and is referred to as Yom HaShoah. The date was chosen as it falls within the timeframe of the anniversary of the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising in April-May 1943, which lasted for 29 days.
When the actual date of Yom HaShoah falls on a Friday, the State of Israel observes Yom HaShoah on the preceding Thursday. When it falls on a Sunday, Yom HaShoah is observed on the following Monday. In the United States, Days of Remembrance runs from the Sunday before Yom HaShoah through the following Sunday.
