The internationallyrecognized date comes from the Hebrew calendar and corresponds to the 27th day of Nisan on that calendar. That is the date on which Israel commemorates the victims of the Holocaust. In Hebrew, Holocaust Remembrance Day is called Yom Hashoah. When the actual date of Yom Hashoah falls on a Friday, the state of Israel -- following the Knesset legislation establishing the event -- observes Yom Hashoah on the preceding Thursday. When it falls on a Sunday (2010, 2011, 2013, 2014, 2017), Yom Hashoah is observed on the following Monday.
