As Israel observes Holocaust Remembrance Day, heightened emotions pervade due to the recent October 7 attack by Hamas, described as the bloodiest antisemitic massacre since the Holocaust. Families of hostages, including descendants of Holocaust survivors, rallied under the slogan 'Never again is now.' Holocaust survivors themselves, some having to flee burning homes during the attack, are central to remembrance activities, with some sharing their stories through memoirs. Israeli leaders, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in his remarks at Yad Vashem, emphasized the necessity of self-defense and vigilance against antisemitism. The ceremony featured Holocaust survivors lighting six torches, symbolizing the six million Jews lost.

On Yom HaShoah, Jews reflect on the horrors of the Holocaust. It’s heavier than usual, w/many of us feeling fearful & divided in the wake of Hamas’ attack on 10/7, resurgent antisemitism & the devastation of Israel’s assault in Gaza. I found insights in a place I did not expect.

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

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.
