STATEHOUSE CALENDAR

April 18, 2024 is Yom Hashoah, or Holocaust Remembrance Day. The U.S. Congress designated April 16 to April 23 as Days of Remembrance of the Victims of the Holocaust.  

Learn more about the people who saved lives during the Holocaust, 1933-1945.

The State of Israel, acting on behalf of the Jewish people, entrusted Yad Vashem with the duty of recognizing and commemorating the deeds of those non-Jews who risked their lives to save Jews during the Holocaust period. These individuals were willing to sacrifice their freedom, and sometimes even their lives, for no remuneration of any kind. In recognition of their selfless actions, they are awarded the title of Righteous Among the Nations.
