Yom HaZikaron laShoah ve-laGvura “Remembrance Day for the Holocaust and Heroism” is a day of commemoration for the Jews who perished in the Holocaust. In Israel, it is a national memorial day observed on the 27th of Nisan which is in between the anniversary of the beginning of the most significant portion of the insurgency in the Warsaw ghetto uprising (14th of Nisan) and Yom Haazmaut (Israel Independence Day (5th of Iyar)).
Reb Shlomo Carlebach visited the concentration camps in Poland in 1989. He was asked how he could greet, shake hands with — and even hug — children of the perpetrators and even the perpetrators themselves. Reb Shlomo replied
“If we had two hearts like we have two arms and two legs, then one heart could be used for love and the other one for hate. Since I have but one heart, then I don’t have the luxury of hating anyone.”
