  1. I don't believe there's a specific month, per se, for Holocaust remembrance.

    Yom HaShoah is a Holocaust Remembrance day in Isreal.

    For others, see my source, "Holocaust Memorial Days" from Wikipedia


  2. I don't think so, for the simple reason: Not all Holocaust victims are considered as such. In fact-which is very unfortunate-only Jewish victims are considered (by mainstream Western & Israeli institutions) as Holocaust victims. This is how the name Auschwitz, which is a german imposed name for a place in Poland, is known more then Jasenovac, which is the original name for a site of a death camp, most victims of which were Serbs (I mean, others, including Jews, were butchered there too, but I "suspect" the reason this camps isn't so well known is because most of its victims weren't Jews). As for a Jewish Holocaust Victims Month, I never heard about such a commemoration.
