Yom Hashoah on which we remember the monstrous destruction wreaked upon the Jewish people by the Nazis and their allies during the Holocaust always falls on the same day on the Hebrew calendar, the twenty-seventh day of Nissan. On some years, however, this date falls on or near April 19th, the day eighty years ago when the Jews of the Warsaw ghetto rose up against their tormentors that succeeded in killing and incapacitating significant Nazi forces before succumbing to the inevitable. This revolt is in fact included in the purpose and timing of this solemn day: Yom HaShoah U’Mered haGetot, Day of Remembrance for the Holocaust and the Uprising of the Ghettos. The shortening of the name of this day also has the effect of downplaying the intention that we remember that while so much of the story of the Holocaust is about the Jews murdered with methodical brutality, there are also the stories of resistance - the ghetto uprising, the revolts inside camps, partisans and others who fought to their last moments.
