In 2005, op de zestigste verjaardag van de bevrijding van Auschwitz, namen de Verenigde Naties een resolutie aan ter nagedachtenis van de slachtoffers van de Holocaust. Ze besloten dat ieder jaar, op 27 januari, de Internationale Herdenkingsdag voor de Holocaust zou plaatsvinden. Het woord “Holocaust” komt uit het Grieks en betekent “brandoffer”. Het wordt gebruikt om de vervolging en de daaropvolgende massamoord van zes miljoen Joden in Europa door het naziregime en collaborateurs te omschrijven. Tussen 1933 en 1945 werden ook andere groepen het doelwit van de nazi’s en hun bondgenoten. Denk bijvoorbeeld aan de Roma, personen met een handicap, mensen van Slavische afkomst, homoseksuele personen, en leden van bepaalde religieuze en politieke groepen.

The term Kaddish is often used to refer specifically to "The Mourner's Kaddish," which is chanted as part of the mourning rituals in Judaism in all prayer services, as well as at funerals and memorials. Along with the Shema Yisrael and the Amidah, the Kaddish is one of the most important and central elements in the Jewish liturgy.
