Yom HaShoah falls on 27 Nisan of the Jewish calendar, which measures days from sunset to sunset. This year on the Christian calendar it began at sunset today, May 5, and will end at sunset on May 6. It is the annual day of remembrance to commemorate the fates of the approximately 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust during World War II.
The following are my family members I have been told died in the Holocaust. All of them are from the Mekler/Nowicki branch of my family and lived in what was Grodna gubernia in the Russian Empire (now in Belarus). May their memory be for a blessing.
