Holocaust Memorial Day

26 April 2005 - 27 Nisan 5765
Yom haShoah - Holocaust Day

"Of man as regards his fellow-man, I shall demand account of human life. He who sheds the blood of man, by man shall his blood be shed, for in the image of God was man created." (Genseis 9:6)

Auschwitz was the most notorious of the Nazi death camps of World War 2.

Its gas chambers and crematoria are estimated to have consumed between 1.5 and 2 million human beings between the Summer of 1942 and the end of 1944.

85 to 90 per cent of these were among the 6 million Jewish victims - out of a total of 13 million Jews in Europe, and 8 million who came under Nazi occupation, who suffered and died in the persecution and industrialised mass-slaughter authorised and ordered by Adolf Hitler. This page is dedicated to the memory of those who died and to the faithfulness of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Divine King who preserves His people Israel.

Auschwitz was liberated by the Soviet Army on 27 January 1945. This is the date chosen by the British Government to commemorate the Holocaust.

27 Nisan in the Hebrew Calender was the date on which the Warsaw Ghetto Uprising was finally suppressed by German forces in 1943. The Knesset of Israel selected it as Holocaust Day - Yom haShoah.
