CA VHEC RA000-03-01-02 · File · 1987–2019
Part of Vancouver Holocaust Education Centre fonds

Sub-sub series consists of records generated and accumulated as a result of the VHEC’s participation in and organization of events marking Yom HaShoah (Holocaust Remembrance Day), observed in April or May each year on or around the 27th day of Nisan in order to mourn the six million Jews who perished in the Holocaust as a result of the actions carried out by Nazi Germany and its collaborators, and to pay tribute to the Jewish resistance during that period. Yom HaShoah was first observed in Israel in 1951; it was anchored in a law passed by the Knesset in 1959 and is observed by Jewish communities internationally. The VHEC’s annual program brings together Holocaust survivors, successive generations and the wider public for candle-lighting, music and speakers. Programs were planned by volunteer members of the Warsaw Ghetto Committee, the Yom HaShoah Holocaust Remembrance Committee of the Canadian Jewish Congress and the Yom HaShoah committee of the VHCS. After 2014 Yom HaShoah commemorative events have been organized by staff of the VHEC.

Records in sub-sub series include promotional materials, press releases, newspaper clippings, correspondence, notes, budgets and other documents created and/or kept by VHEC staff.
