Yom HaShoah is the annual day of remembrance commemorating the deaths of the approximately 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust during World War II. It falls on 27 Nisan of the Jewish calendar, which measures days from sunset to sunset. If 27 Nisan falls adjacent to Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath, the observation is shifted one day forward or back. This year 27 Nisan falls on a Friday, so Yom HaShoah has been moved one day earlier, beginning at sunset today, April 23, and ending at sunset on April 24.
The following is the list of my family members I believe died in the Holocaust. They are all are from the Mekler/Nowicki branch of my family and lived in what was Grodno gubernia in the Russian Empire (mostly now in Belarus). I repeat their names every year so that they may not be forgotten. May their memory be for a blessing.
