Six million Jews, including one and a half million children, were murdered in the Holocaust - a systematic genocide of one third of the entire Jewish population.

Holocaust Day is a day to remember the victims - those that survived, and the many more who did not. It is also a day to recall what human beings are capable of doing to one another. Holocaust Day falls on Sunday April 11, 2010.

We memorialize the Holocaust for the sake of those that were murdered, those that survived and for our own sake. As George Santayana wrote: "Those who cannot remember history are doomed to repeat it."

In these six sections, you'll find ways to commemorate the Holocaust, study the history of the period, read eyewitness accounts, and learn about the holiday and its observances.

AMCHA, Israeli Centers for Holocaust Survivors and the Second Generation, is a remarkable organization that offers psychotherapy, groups services, support groups, clubs for the aging survivor and volunteer services to homebound survivors. Click here for the AMCHA site.
