Talk:Yom HaShoah
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.

- 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)
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)
