We Remember
Holocaust Remembrance Day Stories
On Holocaust Remembrance Day and every day, we honor the six million Jewish lives lost and the survivors who bore witness. These stories ensure their voices are never silenced.
Shari J. Ryan writes WWII historical fiction rooted in Holocaust remembrance, drawing on her own family history as the granddaughter and great-granddaughter of survivors.
Never Forget, Always Remember
Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaShoah) is observed on the 27th of Nisan in the Hebrew calendar, falling between late April and early May. It's a day to remember the systematic murder of six million Jews, the destruction of countless communities, and the lives forever changed by one of history's greatest atrocities.
But remembrance isn't just about mourning loss—it's about honoring resilience. It's about the acts of courage, both large and small, that happened every single day. The people who risked everything to save a stranger. The families who held onto hope when there was no reason to believe. The survivors who rebuilt their lives and shared their stories.
These novels are acts of remembrance. They give voice to those who can no longer speak, honor the complexity of survival, and ensure that "never again" means something.
