Fast Fact

Israel does not glorify victims, nor promise reward for self-sacrifice. Instead, Israelis remember with honor those who have fallen, whether at the hands of historic oppressors or in defense of the world’s sole Jewish country. In January 2024, there were ~245,000 Holocaust survivors alive, nearly half in Israel. This Yom HaShoah (Holocaust memorial day) Israel will commemorate the 6 million Jews murdered along with the heroism of survivors and rescuers.

For background, please see:
