Yom HaShoah, the annual day of remembrance commemorating the deaths of the approximately 6 million Jewish victims of the Holocaust during World War II, falls on 27 Nisan of the Jewish calendar, which measures days from sunset to sunset. This year it began last night, April 13, at sunset, and ended today, April 14, at sunset.
The following are my known family members I believe died in the Holocaust. They all are from the Mekler/Nowicki branch of my family and lived in what was fornerly called Grodno gubernia in the Russian Empire (mostly now in Belarus). I repeat their names every year to ensure that they are not forgotten. May their memory be a blessing.
