Israel is observing Yom Hashoah, Holocaust Remembrance Day, with heightened poignancy this year, following the devastating Hamas attacks on October 7, described as the deadliest day for Jews since the Holocaust, when 6 million Jews were murdered. The day is marked by various events including rallies by families of hostages, some of whom are descendants of Holocaust survivors, and poignant stories shared by survivors themselves. The Chief of the General Staff of the IDF emphasized the memory of the Holocaust as a source of strength in current conflicts. The commemorations are taking place amid ongoing threats, as indicated by recent rocket attacks from Hezbollah.

In this week of National Holocaust Remembrance, we remember the 6 million Jews murdered by Nazis and their collaborators, and the millions who were persecuted and killed. The courage of survivors and their families is a living rebuke to those who tried to extinguish their future.
This #YomHaShoah, I’m thinking of Alex Dancyg. Born in Warsaw, 1948, to Holocaust survivor parents. He’s a Holocaust historian, and on October 7, Hamas took him hostage from Nir Oz. Captivity survivors say he gave history lectures to fellow hostages. Hamas must let him go. 🎗️ https://t.co/LkrVoNZmy0
On YomHaShoah and every day, we will never forget the six million Jewish people who were murdered in the Holocaust. Our thoughts are with London’s Jewish communities today.

This Yom HaShoah, we remember the millions of Jews who were systematically murdered in the Holocaust. We mourn the lives stolen from their families, their loved ones, and the world by Nazism. Today, we recommit to rooting out antisemitism wherever it rears its ugly head.
80 years after the Holocaust, who could have imagined that survivors would have to fear for the fate of grandchildren taken hostage by terrorists who turned whole Jewish families to ash? #NeverAgainIsNow https://t.co/wJCncDyLTG

Yosef, born in Yugoslavia, survived the Holocaust fighting with the Partisans. Inspired, his great-grandson Omer left comfort in NYC and joined the IDF. On 10/7, Hamas took him hostage. His dad took gold coins Yosef saved in the Holocaust—and melted them into a hostage brooch. 🎗️ https://t.co/iyfZXLuz5B
Right now in Israel, there are Holocaust survivors who have to endure the torment of having grandchildren held hostage. Can you imagine what that means? They escaped the Nazis, to the only place where the Jews can defend themselves. And now in their old age–—helpless again.

As Israel prepares to observe its Holocaust Memorial Day, many are struck by the parallels to October 7. Some survivors who once leapt from cattle cars in Europe to save themselves from Nazis had to jump a second time from windows in burning homes to flee Hamas, per Army Radio.
