Day of Desolation (Yom haShoah)
***** Location: Israel
***** Season: Spring, 27 of Nisan
***** Category: Observance
*****************************
Explanation
This day is the anniversary of the uprising in the Warsaw ghetto.
Yom haShoah is a fixed date in the Hebrew calendar (27th of Nisan), but since that calendar does not coincide with the Gregorian, the day will occur on various dates in April or May:
18 April 2004 (27th of Nisan, 5764)
06 May 2005 (27th of Nisan, 5765)
25 April 2006 (27th of Nisan, 5766)
15 April 2007 (27th of Nisan, 5767)

The people in Germany (and in other European countries) think at the “Holocaust Day” of the liberation of Auschwitz (Januaray 27) and the Shoa and all victims of the National Socialism.

I invite those of us for whom the phrase Holocaust Day is not yet set in stone to consider using the Hebrew name, Yom HaShoah ("Day of Desolation"), as an alternate, if not more correct, appropriate, phrase. (A holocaust = a burnt offering as a sacrificial ritual.)

Die bleichen Kinder
küssen die Erde - nun

Before the ovens
they kneel and kiss the ground –
those pallid children.
