I have moved material from Holocaust Remembrance Day and Yom Ha'Shoah to this article and combined all three. Those other articles are now redirects to this article. Gareth Hughes 19:51, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Holocaust Remembrance Day didn't actually link here, it linked to Holocaust Memorial Day, so I fixed it. I think most people looking for Holocaust Remembrance Day (i.e. all non-British readers) intend to go here. Jayjg | (Talk) 20:25, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I had made Holocaust Remembrance Day a redirect to Holocaust Memorial Day, and made the latter a disambiguation page that linked to Holocaust Memorial Day (UK) (which, as a British citizen, is foremost in my mind) and Yom HaShoah. I created the disambiguation page with the thought that if there are similar memorials around the world (though I know of no others) they could be listed there. I thought it better to give readers a choice. Granted that Holocaust Remembrance Day is the usual English rendering of Yom HaShoah, readers may actually be looking for the other day. Gareth Hughes 22:02, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I strongly suspect most people (other than British citizens) would be looking for the Yom HaShoah page. Jayjg | (Talk) 22:11, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

As you suspicions are strong, I have added a link to Holocaust Memorial Day (UK) among other thinks to the article. I may live on a small island, but I feel it is important to take this opportunity to remember. Gareth Hughes 23:10, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Thank you, your solution is excellent. Jayjg | (Talk) 23:12, 25 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Would it be possible for someone to add a bit more information about how Yom Ha'Shoah is commemorated? I'm a bit ignorant in Jewish practices, and living on the other side of the planet from my family, but I do want to do something this year. Kitty 09:38, 13 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Lot's of anti-Semetic nonsense being posted constantly which is completely irrelevant.

Vandalism

Greetings all! I just reverted some obvious vandalism on this article. If you made some edits, please double check. Jerry G. Sweeton Jr. 14:12, 25 April 2006 (UTC)[reply]

my english is not perfect

can you really call it a holyday??

You mean holiday? This one is just as important as any WW II remembrance. Every country has their own national holidays even if the holiday seems to have no relevance on anyone outside of the country but it is is still called a holiday. i.e. President's Day to non-US Residents.

I believe you are misunderstanding the English word "holiday". In modern usage, "holiday" does not refer to religious days only, but secular days of commemoration as well.--Pharos 00:32, 15 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Capitalization

Should the S in Yom Hashoah really be capitalized? It goes against Yom Hazikaron and Rosh Hashanah, where the first letter after the "ha" prefix is not capitalized. LeaHazel : talk : contribs 17:58, 24 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]
