Holocaust Remembrance Day begins this evening (4/18) and ends tomorrow evening (4/19). As the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum website explains: “The internationally recognized date comes from the Hebrew calendar and corresponds to the 27th day of Nisan on that calendar. It marks the anniversary of the Warsaw ghetto uprising.”
The poets that we feature today and tomorrow (as part of our National Poetry Month blog series) are poets whose voices and life stories will help us to fulfill our responsibility to remember.
