[Avodah] Origin of Yom HaShoah

[Joseph Mosseri]

When was Yom HaShoah established?

Where?

By Whom?

 

I have seen numerous letters, announcements, and decrees by Rabbi Kook and
Rabbi Ouziel the Chief Rabbi's of Eress Yisrael during and after the
Holocaust and they said that Holocaust remembrance day is on 10 Tevet.

 

I also recall some of my teachers and Rabbis as a child who were religious
survivors of the Holocaust and they would only say Kadish and memorial
prayers for their families that perished in the Holocaust on 10 Tevet.

 

How can we have a day of National Mourning in the month of Nissan?

 

I am posing this question with the utmost respect and importance of having
such a day but I just do not understand it being on 27 Nissan.
